Cathy Diamond is a painter and curator based in Queens, New York. Her abstract paintings and works on paper bring together hybrid forms suggestive of trees, plants, insects, and figures simultaneously. Different gestures of yearning, leaning, flying, and drooping found in nature are used to create a latent figurative narrative. During the Pandemic, Diamond conducted an interview for Artspiel called Artists on Coping and participated in a video Artists Talk with Gallery Gary Giordano. She began exhibiting with Flatfile Online Gallery and was chosen for Jason McCoy Gallery’s Artist Drawing Challenge IV. Upcoming exhibits include Women of Spirit Part 3 at Zurcher Gallery and Earth Matters, her curatorial project for Green Door Gallery in Brooklyn.
