Cai A. Vail is an artist, photographer, and mother (not necessarily in that order).

She studied Drawing, Painting, Photography and Printmaking at Montserrat College of Art in Beverly, MA, Museum Studies and Sociology at Harvard University in Cambridge, MA, and Brand Design at Pratt Institute in New York City.

She lives in rural New England.  

"Cai Vail's work is simultaneously delicate and brutal, pairing lush, sensitive shading with violent subject matter. Vail creates scenes of painful beauty, treading a rich line between what draws us in and what frightens us." - Juxtapoz.com

“What seperates Vail artisically is a visual tension between organic shapes and graphic compositions that shouldn’t work, but do.” - Hi Fructose Magazine
