Background
Since 2014, Cathy became a full time artist after many years as an art teacher. Cathy is based in Melbourne and she has a particular interest in landscape art. The aim of her work is to capture the ethereal and spiritual aspects of the natural world and in her imagined landscapes. Cathy’s work ranges from realism, with a high level of detail, to more abstract and semi abstract pieces. The use of light has a pivotal role in creating impact and mood in her more realistic landscapes. In her abstracts, she often paints intuitively, incorporating dramatic movement and organic forms to describe unseen places of beauty and mystery.
