Catherine Caulfield Russell

 

 

 

 

 

Catherine began painting and selling her works at age fourteen.  After graduating from Jacksonville University with a B.F.A., she received the 1978 Graphic Art Award and the Certificate of Honor in Printmaking.  The Florida Times applauded her work on several occasions.

 

Another one of her early accomplishments includes being commissioned to paint a mural for the United Brotherhood of Painters Union in their Manhattan headquarters on Fifth Avenue.  She expanded her horizons as an assistant to master sculptor, Judith Brown, who she assisted with the completion of a bronze sculptures displayed in Tiffany’s windows, Christmas 1980.  In 1981, Catherine’s paintings where exhibited in the Greenspring Art Gallery in SoHo, New York City.

 

After receiving her Master’s Degree from Queens College, she was hired to teach in their School of Education/Continuing Children’s Art Program.  She is a licensed New York State teacher.

 

Catherine has studied and exhibited at The Victor D’Amico Institute of Art, The Art Barge, located in Amagansett, New York.

 

Catherine is an active member of the Montauk Artist’s Association, Long Island New York.  Her works have been featured in small group shows since 2003.  Her work will be exhibited this July – August.  She has exhibited in many all member shows and The Juried Art shows on the Montauk Green.

 

While painting en plein aire last summer, on Little Cranberry Island, a small island off coast of Bar Harbor, Maine, Catherine was invited to exhibit her oil paintings.  She was a visitor that was able to convey the special bond the community feels for their Maine Island. The Islesford Artists Gallery has invited her back to exhibit.

 

Catherine is a member of MAG; Mamaroneck Artist’s Guild .  Her paintings and drawings have been in several of their art shows. Her large works are presently on exhibit in the Mamaroneck Town Center.

         

Catherine continues to follow her love of printmaking as a member of The Center for contemporary Printmaking.  Ten of her small works are presently on display in London, England.

         

Publications which featured her art work have been Dan’s Papers and The MontaukPioneer.  “Perfect Day” an oil painting was featured as the cover of Dan’s Paper. 

 

Catherine Caulfield Russell continues to be inspired by nature and paints primarily en plein aire. Her paintings are completed ala prim.  She is not only inspired by nature but loves to live outdoors while creating and capturing the ever changing face of nature
