Cathi Newlin has been drawing and creating for most of her life. As a teen, she painted christmas scenes on store windows for extra money. She studied drawing, printmaking, sculpture and ceramic arts at Golden West College in Huntington Beach, Ca, American River college in Sacramento, Ca. and Southern Utah University. She has worked as a set carpenter and painter in community and dinner theater and has a disturbing portfolio of punk flyer and album cover art to her name.
Though a native Californian who's family emigrated to the state as partof the ill fated Donner Party, Cathi has spent the last 12 years or so in Utah and rural Missouri.
In late November, 2005 Cathi, with her husband Jeff, a couple of Boxers, some cats and assorted farm critters moved from their home in Mercer, Missouriand relocated to Angels Camp, Ca with intentions of building a home, art and recording studios there.
She has recently finished an apprenticeship with Missouri potter Darlene Beverlin and is taking some time to develope her own aesthetic and style as well as concentrate onthe construction of her and Jeff's new home and studios, so ceramic arts are put on hold for a short time and she is focusing on drawing and photography.
Cathi's short term goals are to refine her technical skills in ceramic, photographic and mixed media arts and to shift her income from self employed computer technician to self employed potter. Long term goals include developing a personal and expressive artistic style and eventual acceptance into a gallery setting.
Cathi has been actively involved in purebred dog (boxer) rescue and education and donates much of her time, and computer skills to those efforts. She provides web services and website help to breed rescues and animal welfare groups and volunteers her services to the American Boxer Rescue Assn.
Oh...and she would like you all to spay and neuter your pets and never patronize stores that sell dogs and cats!
