Cat Palmer
Cat Palmer (born in Orange County, California) is an American queer photographer and artist best known for images of women. Career
Cat began working full-time photography and art in 2009. She has been shooting since 1995 and professionally since 2004. In 2022, she retired from shooting weddings but still focuses on headshots and portraits of people. She photographed SLC Mayor Jackie Biskupski's wedding to her wife, Betty. Black-and-white photography features strongly in her work, sometimes printed onto metal or wood with Xerox transfer words and spray pint mixed media. Recognition
In 2008 the Salt Lake City Weekly called Palmer's work "striking", and wrote that she was "one of the rising stars of the local art scene's work". They also noted that she is "active in the community, teaching classes and serving on the board of the Women's Art Center." The newspaper named her "Best Visual Artist" in 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2021.
