Steeped in archetypal & personal symbolism, Cathy's clay pieces are a result of deep thought & many layers, both literal & figurative. She loves the idea of found objects, & achieves this feeling on her surfaces by creating marks of journeys taken. Her sculptures are of highly-grogged stoneware while frames & jewel bowls are of a smooth buff clay body. Cathy received a BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute in 1990.
