About this artwork
This art work was from a solo show about the Sutton Hoo Ship burial in East Anglia, England. I visited the site years ago and growing up we would make routine trips to the British museum to see the display of the excavated site where viking treasures were discovered in fitting for a chieftain. There were cauldrons, silver bowls and gold jewellery made with extraordinary skills amongst other findings. The boat had left a perfect imprint in the soil…
so that the construction of the Viking vessel was easily mapped and has been replacated in modern times. I was fascinated in this story since childhood and I finally put that emotion into a painting.

« 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.
