Catherine Christiano is an American artist known for her detailed representational works. She often works in series and by constructing compositions that combine several visual resources within one piece. Works may include multiple panels, mirrors, or painted still lifes juxtaposed with newspaper content reflecting contemporary concerns.
Born and raised in suburban New Jersey to first- and second- generation parents, Catherine’s path to studio art was unconventional. Early on, her analytical strengths led her to earn engineering and finance degrees. After work hours, while employed by organizations like GE and Deloitte, she developed her skills in art making which led her to the National Academy of Design School in NYC. Her teacher there, Dan Gheno, recommended the Lyme Academy of Fine Arts, a small school for the serious study of drawing, painting, sculpture, and art history, that had been established in the heart of the former American Impressionist colony. Catherine spent several years at the Lyme Academy intensely working from the human figure and completed a BFA in 2001. Catherine lives and works in Old Lyme, Connecticut.
