Bermuda Pink II Diptych Painting

Named The Other Art Fair - Dallas "Fair Director's Pick" Spring 2021. Cat Rigdon (b. 1990) is a painter and fiber artist based in Dallas, Texas. She grew up on the island of Cyprus, the island's strong folk art and naturalism culture is reflected in Rigdon’s work. She graduated from Texas State University in 2014 and moved to Dallas as a Decorative Arts Junior Specialist and Cataloger for Heritage Auctions. She left the auction house after a serious head injury to pursue a studio based lifestyle. Her obsessively repetitive works deal with her continuous recovery from the brain injury, the mythology of growing up on the island of Cyprus, and artifacts from being an auction catalogers. She currently is a resident at the Cedars Union and has previously been awarded the Clare DeGolyer grant though the Dallas Museum of Art.
