Caitlin Cary

Raleigh, NC

Caitlin Cary is a Raleigh, NC-based, self-taught textile artist and musician known for her innovative and intricate sewn fabric collages, which she calls Needleprints. Cary works exclusively with repurposed fabrics, primarily cast-offs from the upholstery/interior design industry.



Cary's work has been featured in Our State magazine, Walter magazine, and The News & Observer. Her work is also widely collected, awarded, and exhibited in galleries, public spaces, and private collections in North Carolina and beyond.



In recent years, Cary has been experimenting with abstract forms and additional mediums, including encaustic wax, imported silks (a gift from the NC State School of Design), paper, film, and more. In 2024, Cary is at work creating a series that depicts libraries made from book binding fabric in response to her rage over book banning and censorship.
