Cathy Cone

about Cathy

Cathy Cone is a photographer, painter, and printmaker. Her surrealist approach to photography began in the late 1970’s with the introduction of the “Diana” camera. This led to an investigation of experimental techniques towards a multidisciplinary approach to her poetic image-making. Cathy received her training at Ohio University and the Vermont Studio Center. She received her MFA at Maine Media College, where she served as a mentor and guest faculty.

Some of her exhibitions include Sewanee: University of the South, Weisman Art Museum, University of Alabama, DeCordova Museum, Griffin Museum of Photography, Brattleboro Museum and Art Center, and the Vermont Center for Photography. Her works are in the collection of IBM, Hallmark Fine Art Collections, American Express, The Beekman, a Thompson Hotel (NY), and many private collections.

Cathy, with her husband, master printer Jon Cone, founded Cone Editions Press in 1980 in Port Chester, NY, as a collaborative printmaking workshop. Cone Editions Press is now located in East Topsham, Vermont.
