About this artwork
An art residency in Iceland greatly influenced this piece. I was struck by the dynamic geology of the Island and the stark beauty of the landscape.
I felt that geometric shapes with curves and contrasting colours evoked the sensations I felt as I absorbed the views and from climbing and from travelling through volcanic plateaus.

« It is walking on the land and understanding the force of land-structure via a somatic transference that feeds my work. »
An established, award-winning artist, Catherine creates works on paper, canvas, and wood panel inspired by geology, memory, and the natural world. Her experimental use of materials mimics ancient textures—rock forms, strata, and buried histories. Residencies in Iceland provided a living laboratory for engaging with raw, elemental landscapes. Originally from London, she now lives and works between Austin, Texas, and London, UK. She holds a BFA in Metal Sculpture and Silversmithing (Surrey Institute of Art & Design) and an MFA in Studio Practice (JFK University, Berkeley). Catherine’s residencies include Lucid Art Foundation (CA), Cill Rialaig (Ireland), and Skaftfell (Iceland). Her work has been shown widely, including at Seager Gray Gallery, SFMOMA Artists Gallery, and Hammerfriar Gallery. Awards include the Sonoma Emerging Artist Award and First Prize at “Visions of Science” (UK). Her work has been featured in Interalia, Shout Out Miami, and the San Francisco Chronicle.
