Catherine is a painter specialising in
light-filled watercolours. She grew up
in rural Wiltshire but lived in SE Asia for
eleven years where she developed her
saturated colour palette. Her
innovative 'gravity painting' techniques
use rigid artboard to capture
watermarks. Semi-abstract paint
passages suggest subtle rays of
sunlight and disappearing mists set
against sharper winter trees and fields
(explained in her book 'Capturing light
- creating radiant landscapes in
watercolour' - Search Press 2023).
She sketches in pen and wash 'en plain
air' but equally enjoys painting
imaginary landscapes in thick tubed
paint in studio. She is an experienced
tutor and member of the Society of
Women Artists.
