Cate White grew up in the backwoods of northern California, and her intimacy with cultural margins is reflected in her art. Her paintings and drawings explore the existential and cultural realities of struggle and resilience through a lens of mysticism, storytelling, comedy, and raw emotion. Her symbolically-charged, narrative paintings illuminate many of our personal and collective shadows in relation to class, race, gender, trauma, morality, and power. White splits her time between Oakland and a shack on the Mendocino Coast, where she hosts How Do You Paint, an “unhinged, Bob Ross-inspired” painting show on YouTube. White has exhibited widely, including at George Adams Gallery, Guerrero Gallery, and the Oakland Museum of Contemporary Art.
