Caney Demars is an ’08 and ’09 alumni of GIA. Now a student at the University of Vermont, she has come a long way since her days at art camp, exploring interests in music, theater, and countless other artistic outlets. Most recently, Caney has been developing her own distinct style of drawing using intricate line detail and abstract patterns. This style was rooted from a line drawing done by one of the RA’s while Caney was at GIA in addition to the experimental drawing class that taught her to think “outside the box” when it comes to artwork.

You can buy her drawings as prints, phone and laptop cases, and t-shirts!
