Cara's profile
Cara Ober is a visual artist with a writer's addiction to words. Ober's narrative works utilize specific phrases and fonts to suggest multiple voices, perspectives, and time periods. Rather than illustrating the text, the images create discord and contrast, layering metaphorical and nonsensical outcomes over personal notation.
Cara was a Sondheim Semi-Finalist in 2014, a Trawick Prize Semi-Finalist in 2012, and earned a 'Best of Baltimore' Award from Baltimore Magazine in 2009. She is a 2006 MD Individual Artist Grant recipient for painting and took second prize in the 2007 Bethesda Painting Awards. She received a Warhol Grant for Emerging Curators in 2006, and a Best in Show Award at the Torpedo Factory's Juried painting exhibit in 2006.
Cara Ober earned an MFA in painting from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2005 and a BA in fine arts in 1996 from the American University. Cara's art reviews have been published in various publications like Hyperallergic, Vulture / NY Magazine, The Urbanite, ArtNews, Art US Magazine, Art Papers, and is founding editor and publisher at BmoreArt, Baltimore's contemporary art magazine.
