Caitie (Caitlin) Curtis is a Baltimore-based artist whose practice responds to political issues surrounding trauma, sexual violence, and equity. She earned an Art Education degree and a BFA in Photography from Towson University, followed by an MFA in Photographic and Electronic Media from the Maryland Institute College of Art. Curtis initially worked with still and moving images to examine identity, gender, and perception.

Through teaching courses focused on Art and Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Accessibility, and volunteering with women’s housing organizations and collectives such as FORCE, she identified fiber art as an especially effective medium for her work. Curtis uses fiber to invite reflection on how systems such as state legislation and individualistic ideologies perpetuate cultures of bodily harm. She maintains an active studio practice and exhibits nationally, continuing to advocate for victim-survivors through research, education, and creative work.
