Cathy was born in Salinas, California and grew up in San Jose. She took her first art class as a young teenager and later pursued her Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design from San Jose State University. Five years of freelance illustration in Los Angeles area followed, working for a variety of clients in advertising and publishing.
Then during the years spent at home raising young children, Cathy experimented with a number of art endeavors, but ultimately was drawn back to painting. In 1993, she took up her brushes again.. “Painting offers new challenges every time I tackle new work. I paint with the hope that the next painting will be my best painting so far.”
She has studied with Anthony Ryder, Henry Stinson, and Ned Mueller. Cathy lives in the Pacific Northwest, a rich environment for a painter.
