Cathey December is a native Louisiana artist who has been printing limited edition etchings for more than 38 years. She is known for merging her two passions; art and nature. Her entire life, she has lived on the bayou and spent her time watching wildlife of the Louisiana marshes, fishing, and walking on the beaches of the Gulf Coast. Growing up in an artistic family, December always viewed art as a way of communication. In 1974 she learned the technique of printmaking and began creating limited edition, original hand-colored etchings. By the time she was 14 years old, she was selling her art to wholesalers, retailers, and galleries.
After high school she continued studying fine art at the University of New Orleans where she shared unique etching techniques with her professors. December was one of the featured artists at the 1984 Louisiana World’s Fair, where her work was featured in the U.S. pavilion.
She is currently in full production of a new line of etchings. She lives on Bayou Bonfouca with her husband, children, and yellow lab “Beignet”.
