Caitlin Connolly


Caitlin Connolly is an American painter and sculptor.
Connolly grew up in a Utah home with three brothers. Her mother was a flute teacher and Connolly began playing the flute when she was five years old. Connolly obtained a BFA in Painting and Drawing from the University of Utah in 2009. Connolly’s art career began to blossom as she began having work appear in galleries, shows, and book covers. Connolly explains, “Art often becomes my medium for exploring purpose in life and moments of truth.” Connolly struggled with infertility for seven years and the themes of struggle, motherhood, and female empowerment run through her artwork. The shape of an upward-pointing triangle sometimes permeates Connolly’s work and became a subtle nod to the female figure with a woman’s shape rendered as an upward-pointing triangle.
