Cara is a practicing Artist and Designer residing in Scotland. Having spent most of her life in the Trossachs, a lot of her work takes inspiration from nature.

She studied at Edinburgh College of Art and graduated with a Masters of Fine Art in Textiles.

After taking an environmental design module - it became clear that something needed to be done in answer to the catastrophic impact that humanity and the fashion industry was having on different species. For this reason the print design collection: "A Walk into the Wild" was created. It was formed to highlight the sheer extent to which animals are becoming endangered. 

After graduating at the beginning of the Covid pandemic, a lot of the work remained unseen in storage; its initial purpose unfulfilled. Consequently, Cara hosted a solo exhibition at the Salt Space Gallery (Glasgow December 2023) with the hope to draw attention to the rapid loss of species and to highlight the IUCN Red List of Endangered Species, which influenced her work. The exhibition included a combination of fine art pieces: drawings and textiles produced in recent years and during her Masters of Fine Art. Following the success of this exhibition Cara has started work on a new collection of work again inspired by nature. 

​

Previous to this Cara graduated in 2017 with a First Class in Costume Design and Construction. This course led her on to work for the Victoria Albert Museum as a Costume Mounter for the 2019 Dior exhibition, and intern for the Balenciaga exhibition. 

She now works part-time in her at-home studio as a professional Artist and Designer, working on textiles and painting commissions.
