Catherine Christiano Sold at Auction Prices

Catherine Christiano is a representational artist working primarily with painting and drawing media. She typically works with subjects that are close to her own life and environment, finding the ordinary and creating images that are often symbolic and universally meaningful.

Catherine's unlikely path to studio art began with a BE in engineering and an MBA in finance followed by some years of work combined with part-time study in drawing and painting at the National Academy of Design, School of Fine Arts in New York City. A move to Connecticut prompted her to fully focus on her artwork and additional study at the Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts (BFA, 2001). Catherine has maintained a studio in Old Lyme since 1995.

Catherine illustrated the memoir Poverty Island, published by the Old Lyme Historical Society. Her work has also been published in American Artist Drawing, on the cover of JAMA, The Journal of the American Medical Association, and on the cover of Trusteeship, a journal of the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges.

Catherine actively exhibits her work, primarily in museums and galleries in the Northeast. Her work has been shown in New York City at Project Room 88 and the AAF Contemporary Art Fair and in Connecticut at Fairfield University, the New Britain Museum of American Art, the Mattatuck Museum, the Slater Memorial Museum, Pfizer Global Research & Development, the Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts, The Cooley Gallery, and most recently, Art Essex Gallery.
