Catharine Cary
A graduate of Georgetown University and the Institut of International Relations of Cameroon, Catharine Cary has worked, lived and travelled in 27 countries worldwide. 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.
Born in 1961, Catharine Cary grew up in rural Vermont, one of five children of an engineer and an educator. A 1982 graduate of the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University, in 1983 she earned a DESS (Masters equivalent) in International Relations as a Rotary Scholar in Cameroon, West Africa.
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.
Since 1997, Catharine Cary splits her time between Paris and NY.
