Native Louisiana artist, Cathey December, has been printing limited edition etchings for over 38 years.  She is known for merging her two passions; art and nature.  Her entire life she has lived on the bayous 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 fourteen 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 displayed in the U.S. Pavilion.  At this point she had hundreds of editions sold out. Her work has also been seen in numerous movies, public and private collections, both in the United States and abroad.

In 1992 December decided to temporarily step away from her business and devote all of her time to being a full time mom.  Now that her children are in college 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". December is constantly amazed by the endless inspiration that she finds in natural wildlife and the beauty of the Gulf Coast Region.  Most days you can find her working in her studio, or sketching images on the bayou with Beignet by her side.
