ABOUT ME
Cathy‘s first career was in art education. She taught art at an elementary school in Silver Spring, Maryland for most of her career. Her school was nominated to be one of three arts integration model schools. Arts Integration uses the arts to teach traditional academic subjects. She worked with many artists in residence, attended numerous Maryland Artist/Teacher Institutes, partnered with the arts education department at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., and presented on arts integration implementation at conferences in Boston, New York, and Beijing, China.
Upon retiring and moving to St Croix she began her second career as a visual artist. Cathy’s love of patterns and bright colors is reflected in her work. Her focus has been on whimsical representations of sea life. She repurposes vinyl records into bowls and clocks with colored pencil graphics, creates mosaics using tile and glass, and colored pencil drawings on Bristol board.
Cathy has exhibited her work at The Blue Mutt, Top Hat Gallery, and The Maufe Gallery in Christiansted. She currently has work for sale at the Caribbean Museum Center for the Arts in Frederiksted.
