“We moved to the Hudson Valley from Chicago in 2002 after long careers in marketing and finance. We were drawn to the area by my passion for the region’s rich cultural heritage and unbroken legacy in the visual arts, as well as by Jim’s appreciation of the picturesque landscape and sublime sunsets. Originally the home of Hudson River landscape painter Charles Herbert Moore, Catwalk has a long history as an artist’s residence. Spectacularly sited for both river and mountain views, the property was too special not to share. We created the Catwalk Art Residency, intending for it to become part of the rich cultural fabric of the Hudson Valley”.
