Wright graduated from Brown in 2004, with a double major in Visual Art and Art History. After college, she moved to Paris to pursue fashion design, and ended up living in a squat/art collective called La Générale, in an abandoned state building in Belleville. Renovating a studio out of several secretarial offices locked in 1970, living with artists from all over the world, and defending their common project to the mayor of Paris on a regular basis imprinted the possibility of a life supported by and for art-making.
In late 2006, Wright returned to Austin to embrace the possibilities of the burgeoning art community in her hometown. Solo shows at Bay 6 Gallery and Salvage Vanguard have allowed her to flesh out many bodies of work for public exhibition, and group shows have included The People’s Gallery at Austin City Hall, and “Art in Bloom” at The New Orleans Museum of Art. She has been featured on CNN.com for Saatchi’s artist website, been a critic’s pick for the East Austin Studio Tour in the Austin Chronicle, and had features in Austin Monthly, Tribeza, and Luxe Magazine. Collaborations include the all-instrumental band Mediums, sound for the short film “The Big Bends” by Jason Marlow, and projections and music with Ballet Austin dancers in the Califa Arts Collaborative. Caroline’s work is on view at many Austin venues, including City Hall, The W, fine stores and restaurants, and The Austonian.
