Meet the Juror
Cari Freno (b. Cleveland, Ohio) is an artist working in video in, sculpture, drawing, and sound installation. She has exhibited her work both nationally and internationally including venues in Chongqing, China and Berlin, Germany. She has also spent time as a Landscape Experience Fellow at Mildred's Lane in Beach Lake, Pennsylvania. Most recently she was nominated for the Louis Comfort Tiffany Award.
Freno draws inspiration from the fields of psychology and education because of their focus on the human condition. The emotional landscape of childhood development remains charged with a force that she uses to expose and express unconscious themes, which impact anyone who tries to make sense of themselves and their past.
Freno is currently an Associate Professor of Drawing and Sculpture at Ursinus College and Chair of the Art and Art History Department there. She lives and works in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania.
