Meet Catherine

I am inspired by repetition of shapes and color. Many of these elements I observe in nature, others are from memories. The complexities of life- both past and present-are united in my work through textures, mark making and layering. Painting is a physical process for me. I am drawn to moving paint around a canvas, finding the story in the shapes and letting the colors speak. Sometimes I work in series, this work allows me to explore patterns in changing environments. The cycle of decay, loss, new growth and stability is thus ever present and influences my work.

My inspiration can be found in the lushness and abundance found in nature.
