Artist's Statement
“By observing the details in everyday surroundings,
I find a wealth of ideas: from the smallest of sweet peas on
my garden trellis, and the rhythm of color in the Japanese
flower gardens, to the soaring San Francisco Peaks in Northern
Arizona.”
Capturing the colors of nature in both sunshine and shadows,
Catherine pulls the viewer into the very soul of the painting,
as she blends negative brushwork – using the white of
the paper rather than white paint – with glazed transparent
watercolors for vibrant representations of landscapes, florals
and still lifes.

Biography
Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, Catherine has lived
most of her adult life in Arizona. Art has been an important
part of her life since age 10 when her mother presented her
with her first set of oil paints. Raising a family, with
a career as a Registered Nurse, took precedence until a newfound
love for watercolor brought her back to the studio. Small
classes and workshops by talented artists have influenced
her unique style of painting.
|
| She works in her home studio and paints from still life compositions
and her own photographs, composing them into fresh and novel
arrangements. |
