Cathy is basically self-taught and has been painting and drawing since a young child. Even though she lived many wonderful places while growing up, she was fortunate to live in the California area near Carmel by the Sea for many years. Being able to visually watch the artists work in their galleries and the abundant beauty of nature all around left a large impression on her. She has shared her talent with many students over time and enjoys the excitement of teaching as well as learning from new people. Everyday brings a new excitement and a new idea for a new painting. "I believe that artists see differently than most people. The shape of a leaf, the early dawn light or a simple water droplet sitting on the edge of a rose petal can bring so much beauty as well as a new idea for a painting!"
This bright red poppy was fun to do. It has sold and I know there will be more to come. Oil on 9 x 12 canvas. Every few months I get in to the explosive "red" mode where every tube I pick up
This is wonderful Cathy !!!
