Cara Lai FitzGibbon

Cara Lai FitzGibbon is a freelance illustrator and fine artist living in Eastford, Connecticut. She grew up in Belmont, Massachusetts, and was encouraged by her highly influential high school art teacher, Mark Milowsky, to pursue art as a career. She attended Rhode Island School of Design, graduating with a BFA in Illustration in 2007. In her post-college years she had a wide range of experiences with travel, employment, and self-exploration–she worked as an animator, in outdoor education, did some freelance illustration, rode her bicycle across the country, and ran several marathons; but the most formative of these experiences was simply sitting quietly for long periods of time in meditation. This cultivated a sense of compassion in her that brought her to study social work at the University of Vermont, where she obtained her MSW in 2015. She is grateful to her social work cohort, her loving family, and to James, her partner in absurdity, for their continued love and support.
