Originally from New Jersey and working in painting and ceramic sculpture, Jana Marie Cariddi creates internal landscapes that function as reflections of emotion, memory, sexuality and tension within the body. Her work has been exhibited internationally and throughout North America, and she has participated in Residencies in Germany and Japan. Cariddi received her MFA from the University of Madison-Wisconsin, and her BFA in Painting at SCAD. She is currently a Visiting Professor of Painting & Drawing at Florida State University. While in Residence, Cariddi will develop pieces for her exhibition at the SCAD Museum of Art, which will feature sculptural paintings and a wall-sized installation of drawings that raise questions about our internal state in relation to our body and our surroundings.
