Cate Infinity
Born in Seattle, Washington, to a photojournalist father and a music teacher mother, Cate Infinity was immersed in the arts from an early age. At sixteen, she was discovered at Pike Place Market and began a modeling career that took her from the fashion capitals of Milan and Tokyo to the creative heart of New York City, where she ultimately laid down roots. Cate’s early fascination with the camera - shaped by memories of watching her father work - eventually drew her behind the lens. She earned a degree in filmmaking from NYU, and while commercial projects initially shaped her direction, she gravitated toward still photography. This shift allowed her to explore composition and emotion through a more intimate and enduring frame. Cate’s signature style is marked by spontaneity and authenticity. Rather than relying on heavy post-processing, she embraces strategic lighting, rich textures, and unconventional subjects to tell visual stories. This intuitive approach extends into her work both in the physical world and in Second Life, where the boundaries of photography and digital art blur. In the whimsical realm of Cate Infinity's Second Life photography, the virtual becomes a canvas for dreamlike transformation. Her eye for the surreal turns avatars into expressive figures, their gestures and forms animated by narrative and nuance. Through her lens, gravity yields, color bursts into harmony, and time unfolds like breath. Reality and imagination merge fluidly - each image a window into the extraordinary. Aside from photography, Cate is also passionate about experimenting with a wide range of visual techniques - from abstract and conceptual photography to painterly explorations that push the boundaries between mediums. This creative restlessness feeds her evolving aesthetic and deepens the emotional and visual resonance of her work. Outside of her visual art practice, Cate is the founder and producer of The Refuge Productions, a creative engine behind some of the grid’s most imaginative and immersive experiences. With acclaimed projects such as LynchLand, Drone Haven, and countless other eccentric events, she has built a reputation for pushing artistic boundaries and curating spaces where innovation and community collide. Whether grounded in the tactile world or the ethereal dimensions of the virtual, Cate Infinity’s work celebrates the strange, the spontaneous, and the sublime. Her collaborations with other artists continue to enrich her practice, weaving a vibrant, ever-evolving tapestry of connection and creation.
