Born in New York in 1961, Catharine Cary grew up in rural Vermont. After graduating of Georgetown University and the Institut of International Relations of Cameroon, she has worked, lived and travelled in 27 countries worldwide for various humanitarian, industrial, social and artistic projects.
From 1983 to 1987, she authored development aid proposals in Tunisia, and sold German steam boilers and steam irons to the apparel industry in Japan and Scandinavia.
Between 1987 and 1997, she worked in NY urban politics – running large scale projects such as Riverside South – the creation of a public park, the Bronx Center Planning Study – a development plan for the South Bronx and the renovation of Disney’s New Amsterdam Theatre on Times Square.
In 1997, after 10 years of running three large-scale urban development projects in NY, she came to France for a week. A week became a month; a month became 6 while studying at the Beaux Arts. She returned to NY, continued at the Art Students League and the New York Studio School. Returning to Paris in 1998, she showed her first work in 1999, and moved into her own studio in 2000.
Since 1997, Catharine Cary works and lives in Paris, even when she doesn’t. After 7 years of painting and leadership consulting, she is now in her studio full time.
"Each piece of paper offers me a starting point - where the paper is a bit fragile or crinkled, I start there with my first stroke. I never start with a line, always with a form."
