Catherine Varadi

I am Catherine Varadi.
If you are here watching my paintings I think you may be interested in who I am, so I’ll try to introduce myself briefly (what a complicated task – to be brief :)

My life is really so special!
I was born in a country which does not exist anymore – in the Soviet Union, and what is even more exciting – in its capital, Moscow. Whatever you may think, my life was not terrible at all. I had fantastic family with loving parents and grandparents, friends and good school. Afterwards I studied philology in the best university of the country, in the Moscow Lomonosov University and graduated from it with honors.

By the way, beside English, I studied Hungarian and German - and that determined my whole life, as I met my husband in Budapest, Hungary, where I went for undergraduate practice. He is Hungarian and in those years he studied economics in Corvinus University Budapest.

We have been together for more than 30 years already, we are in love with each other, have two beautiful and clever sons and a dog who is beautiful and clever just as all other family members (I am joking because I am not only clever and beautiful but also very, very modest :).

While living in Budapest, I graduated from the Hungarian Foreig...
