Owner and Interim Manager

My husband Bob Durst and I created Tesserae Studios for our son Benjamin. I also work full-time as a physician but whenever I get a chance I dabble in oil painting, watercolors, drawing, and mosaics. And I love supporting all our featured artists and Friday Night Jam musicians including our vocalist son Nick Durst.

Artist and Event Coordinator

Hola! My name is Catherine, but you can also call me Cat or Cate! I love being outside, hablando español, connecting with others and of course creating art! I am an abstract mixed media artist mainly focused on creating environmental and mental health artwork. Each one of my pieces is a piece of me!
