When I search for inspiration, I look over the vineyards surrounding my studio in south-west France and ideas engulf me. Dreams evolve into reality, midnight sketches become my driving force. Before my canvas, I see the world through a lens. I’m interested in what escapes me.”

I find Cathy’s work so intriguing – part painting, part collage, and often employing her signature material – string – her images are always surprising, always make you look twice. Not just at the image, to marvel at how she has created it, but at the source, too – an apple core, a slice of tomato or a pile of black-eyed beans. Cathy is certainly true to her passion - mission indeed - to see nature's details more clearly and to encourage others to do the same.

The story of how Cathy came to live and work in France and triumph over many adversities in pursuit of her art is amazing in itself - you can read it on redbubble.
