Catharine Cary  is an allindisciplinary artist (who trained as an economic diplomat.)  After selling German steam boilers to Asian sweatshops and writing economic development projects in Africa, she built a theater for Disney on New York’s Times Square then jumped ship to paint in Paris.  

She has lived and worked in 45 countries across 3 continents.

She founded the nomadic What IIIF? Improvisation Festival.

She improvises with dance and words in front of European audiences since 2005 -- including Festival Territori Bellinzona CH; Courrèges, Paris, FR; and PerformancesKalendar, Rosskha Museum, Gothenburg, SW. 

One of her paintings hangs on a yacht between a Diebenkorn and a Motherwell.










She checks the boxes female, queer, and older than most. She also eats as much butter as she can.
