Artist Statement 

Caitlin Sweet is a fine artist and painter based in the Capital Region of New York. She has been honing in on her skills in the fine arts for over 10 years.

Sweet earned her MAT from the State University of New York at Oswego, as well as her BFA in Drawing and Painting from the State University of New York at Fredonia. Sweet works using mainly acrylic paints as a medium to explore the visual elements of portraiture and abstraction to portray specific emotions within each piece. She draws inspiration from places and feelings around her as well as a range of social issues such as mental health disorders to create her works. Each self-portrait in this exhibit shows a different stage of Sweet’s life as well as a different mental state she went through.

Sweet has shown her work in a variety of locations across New York, a few being Albany Center Gallery, Saratoga Arts Center Gallery, Fredonia Village Hall Gallery, Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center and more. She continues to work on artworks that push the boundaries of how people see and think about emotions and mental health in themselves and their communities.
