Cathy’s client, the newly-restored Union Depot, known as the “Living Room of St. Paul,” was host to the all-night NorthernLights celebration in 2013. The public art event focused in and around the Union Depot, and included the unveiling of the Union Table, an artistic, sculptural, musical and participatory take on a pingpong table, designed and created by Twin Cities artists Noah Keesecker, Andrew MacGuffie, and Peter Haakon Thompson. Union Table is part of a $1.5 million public arts initiative at Union Depot.
Cathy’s work for Minnesota Environmental Partnership has made its way to South Dakota as both KDLT and KSFY TV news programs featured the new wind turbines currently being constructed in SW Minnesota.
