ARTIST STATEMENT
As a contemporary landscape painter Catharine considers nature as a way to emotionally connect to the viewer with the truth of human experience. She takes up the notion of landscape as a metaphor allowing her to make an artistic sense of the world by exploring with paint. While she has a firm studio practice, she equally paints plein air and recently has travelled to remote areas. These works access the imaginings of both a wild and nurtured existence. As philosopher/artist, Dr. Ed Winters writes “Only through art can we see ourselves as belonging in a world in which these imaginary empathies tell ‘truths’ about our condition. Being called to paint is a form of witness. The observation of an artist like Catharine, calls upon a developed sensitivity. Being imaginary, it develops a view onto the world. This, I am sure, is what is historically meant by an ‘artist’s vision’”.
