| Why Did You Become An Artist |
Becoming an artist was not a choice for me. It is who I am. There was no "deciding". I might as well have "decided" not to be me. Being an artist is as natural for me as breathing. It requires no conscious thought or effort. That said, being an artist is a gift and skill to be practiced and honed. |

| Your Personal Biography |
~'Life is a canvas--throw all the paint on it you want.'
--Danny Kaye
~CONTEMPORARY ART BY CATHERINE JELTES~
~~~~www.catherinejeltes.com~~~~
I paint nature in both realism and abstract--I can't seem to see the world with one set of eyes. Some days I crave to create using realism, to forge a relationship and sense of intimacy with a subject using MY voice. Other days, I simply crave to explore color, line, shapes, form, movement...whimsy, so I let the paint, brush, and canvas speak THEIR voices. Often I have two projects going on simultaneously, allowing me to bounce back and forth as the mood strikes me.
~GALLERY ZOO ART is the 'umbrella' for all of my wildlife painting and photography. Having spent many years in animal management and conservation, wildlife and nature are in my blood and heart--and so deserve special recognition in my portfolio.
~GALLERY ZOO ART will continue to support global conservation efforts.
