While at Berkeley, she was the assistant director of the Theban Mapping Project, which led her to develop a keen interest in the architecture of New Kingdom royal tombs, a subject on which she has written extensively. Catharine worked on the exhibition Mummies & Magic: The Funerary Arts of Ancient Egypt (1988) at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. At The Met, she has worked on numerous exhibitions and gallery installations; co-curated The Pharaoh's Photographer (2001); and curated Egyptian Art at Eton College: Selections from the Myers Museum (2000) and Hatshepsut: From Queen to Pharaoh (2005–06).
