Cathy Bennigson is an American abstract artist, born in 1944 and studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, in Boston, Massachusetts. She received a BA degree from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1967 and an MA degree from Stanford University, in 1969. Bennigson’s gorgeous and exuberant abstractions are somewhat evocative of the great painters of the 1940s-60s, like Hans Hoffmann, Giorgio Cavallon and Theodoros Stamos. However, her work is consistently fresh and personal. Her paintings have been shown in numerous exhibitions in New England and are included in many fine private collections.
