Every month, Caris Reid hosts a whimsical evening of collaging to imaginative New Yorkers who like to play with scraps, sheets, and scissors. At Maha Rose<\/a>, Caris opens up her coveted archive of vintage images to her students allowing them to explore the artistic theme of the evening. People really responded to the class, and four years later, Caris has hosted hundreds of workshops in New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, and Boston.<\/p>\n

This Brooklyn babe isn\u2019t just a collage queen, though she\u2019s a painter to watch and interested in iconography, the subconscious, and merging\u00a0disparate symbols both\u00a0common and esoteric.<\/p>\n

All art eyes were on Caris this spring when she opened a dreamy dual exhibition called Time & Tide<\/a>\u00a0–\u00a0<\/em>at the opening on April 7 (the new moon) her and her partner showed works that they replaced with entirely new ones for a second opening on April 23 (the full moon).<\/p>\n

At the moment, Caris is busy reading about lucid dreaming and\u00a0Polynesian shamanism and examining paintings by\u00a0Sophie Taeuber-Arp and by the\u00a0female artists of Mithila, all while preparing for her next solo shows coming up.\u00a0 AZ borrowed a few moments with Caris to hear more about what makes this painting princess tick.<\/p>\n
