Art of Catherine Wall
Todos Santos, Baja, Mexico

 

Catherine Wall has been an artist all her life. Her interest began, when at the age of ten, she won prizes for her posters. As a teenager she studied with Reginald Marsh at the Art Students League in New York City and spent many hours copying at the Metropolitan Museum. She also studied dance in New York at the Metropolitan Opera School of Ballet.

After Catherine married, she and her husband moved to Marblehead, Massachusetts where she began exhibiting her painting and selling her work. There she was influenced by the school of art established at the Barnes Foundation in Marion Pennsylvania. Catherine also lived in Baltimore, Maryland briefly and was the first woman accepted as a member of the Charcoal Club. Living near Washington D.C. provided an opportunity to study the works of great artists at the National Gallery, the Corcoran and other galleries there. Catherine lived and worked in the San Francisco Bay area. There she was a member of the Peninsula Art Association and an exhibiting member of the Coastal Arts League Museum in Half Moon Bay.

Catherine has a doctorate in clinical psychology and has been influenced by the theories of Carl Jung both in her personal and professional life. Jung's book, "Man and His Symbols" was an early inspiration.

Catherine now makes her home in Todos Santos. Her studio is located at No. 4 Benito Juarez. Her paintings are in private collections in New York, Massachusetts, Washington D.C., California, and Mexico (Cabo San Lucas and Todos Santos).
