About the Artist
Catherine studied figure and portrait extensively under artists from The Art Students League of New York (most notably, Everett Raymond Kinstler), the Boston Fenway Studios and the R.H. Ives Gammell School (most notably, Robert Cormier). Her style is realistic and painterly. Drawing and use of color are her technical strengths. Painting directly from life is her practice.
The galleries of The Copley Society, The Guild of Boston Artists, The Cambridge Art Association, Lexington Arts and Crafts Society, and The Concord Art Association have represented her work in their juried shows and portrait artist registries. Private collectors nationally and internationally own her works, both commissioned and non-commissioned. She teaches private lessons in portrait painting and drawing in her studio or in clients’ homes and offers classes at The Cambridge Center for Adult Education. She has also taught at the Lexington Arts and Crafts Society, Arlington Center for the Arts, and Lexington Munroe Center for the Arts. She does Alla Prima Portrait Painting demonstrations for Art Centers and Associations.
Catherine completed her MA in English Literature at Northeastern University and her BA is from West Virginia University.
