Catherine now works between two studios, her quiet painting studio in a garden in Trewellard and her home drawing studio, which is in the centre of Penzance. Much of the work concerns her relationship to nature and the landscape, her need to walk and maintain her physical connection to the earth.
Catherines work is fuelled by travelling by land and sea to remote extraordinary places and making drawings which are then used to start paintings in the studio. She is a qualified skipper and sailing is a huge part of her life.
Catherine mainly exhibits privately now and her work can be seen at Gallery Tresco, Square Gallery St Mawes, Newlyn Society of Artists exhibitions at Tremeeere Sculpture Gardens, Exhibitions by Penzance Studios Collective, Open Studios in Cornwall, Mackerel Seafood Restaurant, Newlyn.
