San Francisco Magazine, Best of the Bay Area 2009, "Enrich Thyself"
It’s hard to predict which painters will be the next to fetch eight or nine figures at auction, but we’re bold enough to bet on three now selling in San Francisco galleries, whose canvases go for $3,000 or less but may soon command 10 times that price....Catherine Courtenaye reverses a historical tradition of using fanciful flourishes to make handwriting artistic, by creating paintings that replicate calligraphic adornments from old ledgers and notebooks. Her elegant, small-scale canvases embed these anonymous embellishments in layers of luminous color, to very striking effect. Modernism Gallery: 685 Market St., Ste. 290, S.F., 415-541-0461, modernisminc.com.

The Oakland Museum of California has acquired Wilhilmena (2006) for its permanent collection.
