Chloe Firth is an artist and printmaker whose work recounts lifelong mental health struggles, with a focus on body dissatisfaction. Her work seeks to examine how social, political, and economic pressures reflect and affect ideologies of gender and the objectification of the female body. Investigations consider how familial and social environments, popular culture, and mental health foster detrimental beliefs toward food, eating, and our bodies. Her artistic practice functions as a vehicle for processing how we understand food, gender, and power dynamics in a culture that values beauty and thinness.

Born and raised in the Midwest, Chloe received her BFA in printmaking from Northern Illinois University. Upon graduating, she relocated to St. Louis, Missouri where she held a position as press assistant to Tom Huck at Evil Prints for several years. She is currently a printmaking MFA student at West Virginia University, primarily working in lithography and screen print.
