Caitlin Cartwright is an accomplished artist and brings a wealth of knowledge and creativity to Pocosin Arts. After graduating with a BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art, Caitlin moved to Madagascar and worked in an orphanage with young women to produce arts and develop sustainable businesses. She also taught art, English, and spear-headed a mural project while there. After returning to the United States, Caitlin continued to paint and began working with inner city youth development. In 2008 she joined the U.S. Peace Corps and traveled to Namibia, Africa, where she co-founded Nambula Girls Club, an organization focused on girls' empowerment, education and health. After returning from Namibia, Caitlin refocused on her painting and joined Pocosin Arts in October 2011.
