Biography

Early life and education

Born in Eaton Rapids, Michigan, Carr received a B.A. (1967) from Michigan State University, and a M.F.A. (1976) from Wayne State University.[1]

Career

Associated with the Cass Corridor artists working in Detroit in the 1960s through 1980s, her works in the 1970s-1980s are small scale reliefs, rectangular in format, and constructed of layers of organic materials. Later works (1990s onward) are notable for their increased size and curvilinear forms.[1] In 1977, she was a Guest Lecturer for Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. The next year, Carr worked as a Painting Coordinator for Ox Bow Summer Workshop in Saugatuck, Michigan. The following year she was a Visiting Artist at Wesleyan University in Bloomington, Indiana.
