Catherine is a full-time galleried artist who
creates contemporary abstract paintings with
a variety of media that is unusual and captivating.
-
-
Primarily an abstract painter, Catherine
works with resin and mixed media, establishing her own
vocabulary of texture and interruption through colour and
form. By a process of addition and manipulation Catherine
explores the relationship between surface and depth,
creating a dynamic interplay between elements. This love of
materiality is evident in her work.

'I am inspired by meditations on subjects
such as light and landscape'.

- She
was born in Auckland in 1966, and raised in Taranaki and
Auckland. Her life growing up on the East Coast and West Coast
beaches and extensive overseas travel have provided a rich
resource for her art.
After studying Visual Arts at M.I.T. she has been in solo and
many group exhibitions throughout New Zealand. She has work in
private collections as far afield as Tennessee, Australia and
the UK. Catherine paints full-time from her studio in Takapuna.
-
‘My latest body of work has been inspired by the seductive
materials and colours which investigate modern techniques of
mixed media art. As a result of experimentation and a
fascination with colour charts I’ve derived a new avenue for
creative expression through my use of colouring and resins.’
