CJ-Caren Jo Shapiro is known as an openly political artist. In her own words: "As a member of the LGBTQIA community, as an outspoken intersectional feminist, and as a Jewish/atheist woman who has experienced discrimination and antisemitism, I use my work to highlight social conditions that undermine individual liberty and agency."
She is also a very talented painter and portraitist with penetrating insights into human nature. Her up coming show will highlight this part of her large body of work. The show opens August 14.
Born and raised in New York City, Caren Jo Shapiro is a visual artist, a psychotherapist, and the co-founder of Endangered Bodies. She holds a Masters in Fine Arts, a Masters in Social Work, and a Postgraduate Therapy Degree specializing in eating disorders.
