BIO
Catherine grew up near the Moors and Dales of northern England and attended Art College in London for her BFA. The natural world has always provided poetic intrigue and she has used painting, sculptural installations and drawings as a platform to explore various ways of communicating phenomenology of land & locale. After graduating with an MFA from John F Kennedy University, Berkeley, Ca., Catherine was awarded the Sonoma County Emerging Artist Award and twice nominated for the prestigious Eureka Fellowship. Residencies include Kala in Berkeley CA. and upcoming (2012) at the Badé Museum Berkeley CA.
Recent Exhibitions include a solo show at Hammerfrier Gallery Healdsburg Ca; Santa Rosa Junior college, Quicksilver gallery Forestville. Group shows at Bedford Gallery in Walnut Creek, Ca., Doug Adams Gallery at Badé Museum, Berkeley, CA. ArtSpace 404, Santa Rosa, CA.
