:: Catherine Trujillo


A ‘beautiful nightmare’ at times a ‘blissful malcontent’, curator Cate Trujillo has worked with designers, artists, architects, and photographers to create long-standing contributions to the cultural life of the Central Coast. Originally from East Los Angeles, and heavily influenced by the El Sereno artisans in her neighborhood and the artistic teachings of her grandmother, she moved to the Central Coast with a commitment to work in the arts with a focus on the preservation and dissemination of multicultural history and art. Her favorite work of art is her daughter, cruz.

she has bourbon colored eyes...
wakes up facing east in the morning...
has never finished a game of monopoly...
she invented astro turf when she was 7 years old, but then…discovered when she was 10, that it had already been invented...
carries a card of santo nino de atocha in the pocket of her moleskine.
