About me: Bio / Statement Cathey Miller
I was born in 1963 in the Bay Area of Northern California, and I still love the smell of the ocean, seafood, and sourdough bread.
We moved to Texas when i was in grade school, but I returned to California to attend Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA. Upon graduation in 1985, I moved to New York City where I freelanced as an editorial illustrator.
In 1987, I moved to Dallas. I established my own art studio which catered to Interior Designers,
later branching out into Theatrical Scenery, and Scenic Painting for Film/TV. My commercial art career
is in its 36th year. (painting for money)
Since 2001, the subject of my personal artwork has been the mythical planet of Cathedonia, a place I invented and populated with only my closest sometimes but not always fictional friends. My amateur studies in particle physics convinced me that I existed simultaneously in a parallel universe, flying around in a spaceship, drinking big gulps, and saving the earth from monsters.
My paintings are portrait based explorations into a symbol rich outer space environment. These images are painterly, colorful, and communicate Cathedonian ideals of truth, beauty, feminism , girl power, and heroism in the face of gigantic eagle headed flying intergalactic lobsters. (painting for love)
