About
Caitlin Reid (b. 1992, New Jersey) is an an artist, designer and software engineer working at the intersection of ancient myth, classical painting and the future of technology.
Influenced by her studies in philosophy of religion and art history, her current body of work draws upon the Greek allegory of Persephone's abduction from earth and transformation in the underworld. Trained in a realist style, she utilizes a combination of drawing, digital photography and artificial intelligence to construct her compositions, asserting the hybridity of creativity, human consciousness and technology.
Reid received her B.A. in Philosophy from Rutgers University in 2015. She’s pursued fine arts studies at the Maryland Institute College of Art, RISD, and NYU. From 2020-21 she pursued advanced study in philosophy at Columbia University. In 2024, Reid became a fellow at NYC Crit Club's year-long mentorship initiative, The Canopy Program, working with artist Jennifer Coates. She is a co-founder of the artist-run curatorial group, Immaterial Projects. She lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
