CATHERINE STEWART
Catherine’s visual arts practise primarily involves drawing, painting and mixed media techniques on paper, canvas and textured surfaces. Her process involves a confident, expressive use of colour, movement and line. Textured surfaces and subtle transparent layers expose the viewer to fleeting moments, a changing landscape and well worn patinas. Traditional scenes are recontextualised, revisited and transformed. A strong emphasis on drawing underpins her artworks.
Her work is contemporary, innovative and alive with movement and colour. Country life is always inspiring to her and she is always on the look out for visual stimulation, finding joy in the everyday subjects which surround me, such as beautiful birdlife, old shearing sheds, rural landscapes and native flora.
