For Catherine, painting represents freedom. The freedom to play, to explore, and to experiment. The freedom to think outside the lines using color, shapes, and textures. The freedom to connect with nature and explore its complexities.
Using a variety of mediums, including watercolor, acrylic, oil, and pastels, her paintings capture the personality of place, whether the environment of the Oregon coast or its coastal communities. A contemporary artist with an impressionistic style, Catherine weaves bold color choices, strong brushwork, and her personal journey into each painting as she symbolically expresses the interaction between humans and nature.
Catherine finds great joy in losing herself in the flow of the creative process and in how that flow sparks curiosity and learning. Sketches, value studies, and color experimentation lead to a deeper exploration of her subject matter. When her paintings resonate with others, her job as an artist feels complete.
