NORTH INDY ART GALLERY CARA JEAN WAHLERS (@CARAJEANWAHLERSART)
I am an Indianapolis-based artist working in ink on paper to explore migration, memory and place. My drawings often begin with landscapes or patterns of movement, rendered through pointillism and mark-making. Each piece reflects on how memory attaches to place and how movement shapes belonging and change.
