About
BIO
A daughter of Italian immigrants, Cat Del Buono was born and raised in Meriden, Connecticut. She began drawing and filming at an early age, making her first Super 8 film when she was 11 years old. She received a BA from Boston College and an MFA from the School of Visual Arts. She also attended the graduate film program at NYU Tisch School of the Arts. She started as a photographer and filmmaker in college and now focuses on creating video installations that question how society defines beauty. She incorporates performance, interactive video, and humor as ways to engage and impact her viewers.
Awards include a NYFA Strategic Opportunity Stipend, 2nd Prize at the 13th International Open at Woman Made Gallery in Chicago, SVA Alumni Scholarship Award, and a residency at ArtCenter/South Florida. Also, her cable access show "Show Your Shorts" received two grants and aired for ten years in Manhattan. Cat has exhibited a number of times at DUMBO Arts Festival in Brooklyn, the Visual Arts Gallery in Chelsea, Governors Island Art Fair, Pool Art Fair, Woman Made Gallery in Chicago, and during Art Basel Miami Beach to name a few.
