Caitie Curtis is a multi-disciplinary fiber, photo, video, and performance artist in Baltimore, Maryland. She is also an educator, sexual violence advocate, writer, and Studio Art Administrator at the Center for Visual Arts at Johns Hopkins University. Curtis holds an MFA in Photography and Electronic Media from the Maryland Institute College of Art. She grew up in Southern Maryland and attended Towson University for a BFA in Photography and her BS in Art Education.

Curtis began her artistic career as a photographer and video artist. Her subject matter reflected her interests in feminism, gender roles, identity, and performance. Her early work, MyFemaleIdentity reiterates the ideas generated by first—and second-wave feminist artists and scholars, such as gender norms, body objectification, and gender inequality, that continue to dominate contemporary culture.

As her work evolved, Curtis began to create in response to current political issues related to trauma, sexual assault, and equity. As a survivor of intimate partner violence and sexual assault, Curtis continues to create work that challenges traditional modes of thinking concerning sexual violence. ​Her article How Does Your State Define Sexual Consent? — Understanding Sexual Consent Laws in the U.S., featured in Womanly Magazine in October 2023, questions the legal definitions and political attitudes around sexual violence and consent. Lastly, her current ongoing series of​ visual work focuses on the language used by each state within their sexual assault and rape legislation and both vague and distinctive language of the laws that varies from state to state. Curtis maintains a steady practice of analyzing, creating, and advocating.
