Cara’s Bachelor of Visual Arts degree has led her to produce a lifetime’s worth of work while inspiring others to do the same.
Although Cara's artistic and community endeavours have been hampered by health concerns, this has only strengthened her resolve to persevere with her love of art.
Travelling internationally, she has spoken at conferences while collaborating and exhibiting installations, including a solo exhibition in Seattle. During this period she received Anthill’s 30under30 award for outstanding entrepreneurial endeavours for her art practice among young Australians.
Taking on the role of Executive Co-Director at Electrofringe, a non-profit arts organisation during 2011-2013, Cara curated and produced a five-day festival with a visitation of over 15 000 people. She was involved in the Regional Arts Initiative which included touring exhibitions, concerts and professional development courses.
Cara was also Curator and Acting Manager at Bundoora Homestead Art Centre, a public art gallery that saw a 35 per cent visitation increase through marketing and high quality exhibitions.
She currently works at Cruden Farm, the renowned estate of Dame Elisabeth Murdoch.
