Artist Bio
Carolyn Autry was born in 1940 in Dubuque, Iowa, and raised in several states throughout the Midwest. She received her MFA from the University of Iowa. During her schooling, Autry received the Yale-Norfolk School of Art & Music Fellowship and a Ford Foundation Grant. After graduation, she briefly taught Studio and Art History at the Baldwin Wallace College in Ohio. She and her husband then relocated to Toledo where they were hired as instructors at the Toledo Museum of Art, then at the Toledo School of Design, which served as the Art Department for the former Toledo University (now the University of Toledo). Autry twice received grants for printmaking from the Ohio Arts Council, which allowed for her to accept residencies from the School of Arts in Lacoste, France in 1984 and 1987. In 1991 she relocated to nearby Perrysburg and expanded her home studio where she worked until her passing in 2011. Throughout her career, multiple biographies have been published about Autry’s life and work. Her pieces were frequently exhibited both nationally and internationally.
