Background

​

Cate completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts and Diploma of Art Education from the School of the Art Institute (SAIC) of Chicago, U.S.A. In 1978 and 1979 she was the recipient of two fellowship awards from SAIC, the most prestigious award given to outstanding graduate students. Cate was a conceptual performance artist from 1975-1985 exhibiting in major museums and galleries throughout the United States.

 

Since 1983, Cate has lived in Australia where she has built an art practice working predominantly in watercolour, encaustic and mixed media. Cate has exhibited in Australia, Korea, Mexico and the USA. Her paintings reflect the countries where she lives and where she travels. She takes great pleasure being in dialogue with other artists and other cultures internationally. Since 2010 she has been living and painting in both Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia and San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico.
