Instructor Bio
Caroline Roberts
Caroline’s work explores our relationship with the natural world, particularly the world of plants. Working with photograms, her photographic installations play on well-established knowledge systems, such as the herbarium, the museum display, and the field guide. Often found hiking in state and national parks, her interest in landscape and the natural world is heightened by managing fifteen acres of wild, riparian forest in rural Texas.
