Carla Rippey was born the 21st of May 1950, in Kansas City, Kansas.  She was educated through high school in the state of Nebraska.  In 1968-69, she studied in La Sorbonne, Paris, France.  She attended the University of New York at Old Westbury from 1969 to 1972, at the time this college offered a program of experimental education. She received her B.A. in Liberal Arts in 1972.

 In 1970, as part of her educational program, she worked with the New England Free Press in graphic design and offset printing.  During the same period she was active in the Boston women’s movement, helping to establish a women’s center in Cambridge.  She learned printmaking in the studios of the University of Chile and the Catholic University of Chile in 1972, and worked with the Chilean left, principally producing silk-screened posters for the movement.

Carla Rippey arrived in Mexico in 1973. She participated in the collective printmaking studio El Molino de Sto. Domingo in Mexico City from 1974 to 1976.  From 1978 to 1984 she was a member of the experimental art group, Peyote y la Compañia, collaborating in the production of installations, performances, prints, photography and object art.  She collaborated in the founding of the writers’ collective Infrarrealistas in 1974. From 1980 until 1985 she taught printmaking in the Arts Faculty of the University of Veracruz in Xalapa, Veracruz.  Since 1985 she has lived and worked in Mexico City.  She taught printmaking at the National School of Painting, Sculpture and Printmaking  “La Esmeralda” in Mexico City from 2002 until 2019 and was director of this school from 2013 to 2017.

She is a member of the Sistema de Creadores, FONCA, a grant program of the Mexican government, since 1997, and received the Foundation’s production grant in 1997, 2000, 2006, 2011 and 2018. In 2018 she was designated a corresponding member of the Mexican Academy of the Arts.
