Artwork by Caoin Springer O’Durgy
On Display in the Program Room: July 2025
A collection of bold, whimsical, and silly designs that capture and share child-like joy. All designs were created for large-scale installation, then hand-painted in small format to share.
Originally from Ogden, UT, Caoin O’Durgy moved to the Boston area to get his degree in Illustration from MassArt. Caoin’s background as a high school math teacher informs his public art practice as he engages local communities in workshops, education, and interactive installations. With community as the base, Caoin then creates whimsical, diverse, and color-blind friendly designs that bring together community members of all ages and backgrounds. Caoin is excited to expand his public art career and continue to connect with local communities. For more information, visit www.cspringerillo.com.
