Caron Tabb was born in apartheid South Africa, raised on a farm in Israel from the age of eight, and has lived in the U.S. for the last twenty years. These key biographical elements and her passion for social justice issues deeply impact her artistic practice. In addition to traditional painting and photography, Caron incorporates many found objects and unconventional materials into her work. Her conceptual mixed-media and instillation art address issues of social inequality, racial justice, and feminism as seen through the lens of her deep Jewish identity.

Caron's passion for artivism - the intersection of art and activism - led her to envision Be the Change with JArts as a means to empower audiences to be agents of change through the lens of tzedakah (justice).
