Caitie (Caitlin) Curtis is a multidisciplinary artist in Baltimore, Maryland. She is an educator, sexual violence advocate, writer, and Studio Art Administrator at the Center for Visual Arts at Johns Hopkins University. She is also an adjunct supervisor for future art educators attending MICA's Master in Arts Teaching program. She holds an MFA in Photography and Electronic Media from the Maryland Institute College of Art. Curtis grew up in Southern Maryland and attended Towson University for a BFA in Photography and her BS in Art Education. 

Curtis began her artistic career as a photographer and video artist. Her subject matter reflected her interests in feminism, gender roles, identity, and performance. Her early work MyFemaleIdentitiy and Concatenation reiterates the ideas generated by first and second-wave feminist artists and scholars, such as gender norms, body objectification, and gender inequality that continue to dominate contemporary culture. 

As an Art Educator, she worked full-time for five years, with grades 1-12, and was an Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Coordinator/Facilitator at Baltimore Lab School in Baltimore, Maryland. She taught visual art, foundations, photography, and yearbook. Additionally, she was a member for two years and the coordinator for one of the Maryland Art Education Association's Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Committee.

As her work evolved, Curtis began to create in response to current political issues related to trauma, sexual assault, and equity. Curtis continues to teach, facilitate, and create work that challenges traditional modes of thinking. Her current ongoing series of work focuses on the language used by each state within their sexual assault and rape legislation and both vague and distinctive language of the laws that varies from state to state. Curtis maintains a steady practice of analyzing and creating art.
