Her Russian grandfather, Max Person,<br>immigrated to San Francisco in 1915, and made Seattle his home a year<br>later. Max was a natural salesman and soon became self-employed,<br>running his own businesses for more than fifty years. Catherine\u2019s<br>father, Dave, ran a successful real estate firm for forty years in<br>King County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Catherine graduated from the Evergreen State College in 1976 and after<br>a five month stay working in Hawaii, moved to Seattle in 1977.<br>She had the good fortune of finding free-lance work in the local art<br>scene soon after arrival and produced a number of projects for One<br>Reel and The Bumbershoot Arts Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1987, Catherine opened her art advisory firm in Seattle to support<br>independent artists, working with everyone from first-time buyers to<br>corporate curators. Clients have included Nordstrom, Microsoft,<br>Unisys, Boeing, Safeco, Puget Sound Energy, Olson Kundig Architects,<br>Swedish Medical Center and the Westin Hotel in Lincoln Square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From September 2005 \u2013 June 2011, Catherine Person Gallery was located<br>in Seattle&#8217;s historic Pioneer Square, with a focus on contemporary<br>art by artists from Tokyo to Tasmania and from around the United<br>States \u2013 but who are mainly working and residing in the Pacific<br>Northwest. Catherine continues to place fine art in corporate and residential<br>collections, working from a private office and enjoying life<br>without the constraints of a brick and mortar business.<br>Catherine represented retail businesses on the Pioneer Square<br>Preservation Board for four years, which oversees all exterior<br>architectural changes to storefronts, sidewalks, parks and new<br>construction through a review process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seattle Times, May 2011 on Catherine Person Gallery:<br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=D&amp;q=http:\/\/seattletimes.nwsource.com\/html\/thearts\/2014969601_person06.html\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/seattletimes.nwsource.com\/html\/thearts\/2014969601_person06.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seattle Channel 21\u2032s Art Zone has a new program called \u2018Gallery Hop\u2019<br>with Nancy Guppy.
