Cathy Erdmann is a Utah artist with a focus on figurative ceramic sculpture. Her work has been juried into various exhibitions throughout her home state and she has won several awards for her paintings and sculptures. She has also completed numerous commissions, including a life-sized bronze fireman for the City of Springville.

With a desire to add to her skill set and an undaunted spirit, Cathy decided to return to school at age 57 to complete her art degree. She graduated summa cum laude from Utah Valley University, in 2020, with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in sculpture and ceramics.

Cathy enjoys the complexity of fashioning a three-dimensional human form from a slab of clay and the additional challenge of discovering the perfect glaze. She perceives the ceramic process as fascinating.
