Born and raised in Orange County, California, Cat Palmer devel- oped her insatiable romance with photography at 15 years old, against the backdrop of Los Angeles, a place teeming with racial divides, cultural diversity, and economic inequality. Her world view further evolved as she immersed herself in the streets of Mexico, developing a new obsession that would plague her art forever - human empowerment.
From 1995-1999, Cat made an academic go of her art and then traversing the unexpected technological revolution, joined pro- fessional digital in 2005. (She has never forgotten where her heart lies, and fully intends to replace the “dark side” with the “dark room,” one day.) Regardless of the medium, she has exhib- ited all over the salt lake valley and has won many awards.
Cat’s empowerment themes have been: self-esteem, peace, self- reliance, i am human, there’s no place like home, peace to the Middle East, age of aesthetics in defying societies definition of beauty, super hero women, 'i have a secret', trans visibility and keep the politicians out of our VAGINA.
Cat loves teaching workshops about vision boards and mani- festing! She is mainly focused on empowering people through art!
