Catherine Rutgers began exhibiting mixed-media collages, paintings, and wall-hanging constructions in 1979 and has presented or participated in shows at Vassar College, Bardavon 1869 Opera House, Barrett Art Center, Eli Whitney Museum, 12 X 12 X 12 X 2000 Small Painting and Sculpture Competition (San Jacinto College), and International Art Expo (New York). Since 2001, she has been translating her three-dimensional world to the screen through image capture and original photography. In 2010, she founded CatRutgers4art.com, featuring new artwork and an illustrated thesis on Dada, Surrealism, and Robert Rauschenberg. Her first contribution to the ArcheTime project celebrated change over time with four prints derived from such materials as a plastic pomegranate, typewriter- and computer-generated text, and a black vinyl LP that had been baked in a conventional oven.
