Catherine, a member of
the National League of American Pen Women, enjoys commission painting including pet portraits, murals...inside and outside,
house and boat portraits and whatever her clients can dream up.
Specializing in lighthouses, landscapes and seascapes,
Catherine paints on location whenever possible. The feeling of her subject always comes through in her work. Many of her paintings
have faces that appear in the sky, trees or rocks. Who knows where they come from....!
Block Island is one of the
favorite places Catherine goes to paint. She participates in exhibits, galleries and Art Festivals in Connecticut, Rhode Island,
North Carolina and New York.
Recent trips to Puerto Rico, Ireland, Spain, Bolivia, Culebra, Portugal, Greece and
Italy have offered her foriegn lands for painting. Catherine
is now residing on Roanoke Is. , on the outer banks of North Carolina.
