Casey Engel (b. 1991) is an interdisciplinary artist working across quilted paintings, ceramics, and woodcut printmaking. Rooted in craft, Engel's practice explores the histories embedded within materials and how traditional processes can evolve through experimentation. The imagery investigates the space between the body and the landscape, where the boundaries between the two begin to dissolve.
She earned her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2015. Engel has been awarded residencies at the Hambidge Center (Rabun Gap, GA), Virginia Center for the Creative Arts (Amherst, VA), Township10 (Marshall, NC), the Bascom: Center for Visual Arts (Highlands, NC), and Starfangled Press (Brevard, NC). She has also curated and organized more than 60 exhibitions at Blue Spiral 1 Gallery.
Her work has been exhibited at Converse University (Spartanburg, SC), Piedmont Arts Museum (Martinsville, VA), McDonough Museum of Art (Youngstown, OH), Asheville Art Museum (Asheville, NC), Culture Lab LIC (Long Island City, Queens, NY), Field Projects Gallery (NY, NY), Touchstone Center for Crafts (Farmington, PA), Arrowmont Gallery (Knoxville, TN), the Bascom (Highlands, NC), and GreenHill Center for North Carolina Art (Greensboro, NC). Engel lives and works in Asheville, NC, where she maintains a home studio.
