Artist Statement:
I come from a family of

found that painting and
drawing was my passion as it
was a way of expressing my

Whilst in her 2nd Year at
University, I won The David
Murray Award for Landscape
Painting from the Royal
Academy of Art. My final year
of university was spent with
an appointed Royal Academy
Tutor and travelling to
Derbyshire and Cornwall to do
landscape paintings under his
direction.
I paint landscapes because I
am particularly interested in
movement and atmosphere, and
inspired by the way light and
wind moves through the
landscapes affecting the
environment and it’s moods. My
drawing are in Conté as this
best reflects the effects of
movement and light I am trying
to achieve.
When drawing people and
interiors, I like to discover
the subjects personality well
so that I add my emotions and
experiences into my art. I
paint with either Oil or
Encaustic’s, which take a
considerable about of time,
several months to complete and

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
Its in my blood and I liked expressing myself visually and nver really wanted to do anything else. I put all my emotions thoughts into my work and I find it very therapeutic. Apart from that I am sort of compelled and am much happier when I am painting and drawing then with anything else, I get tetchy when I don't do any art and i have been like that since I was a small child. |

Catherine Metcalf B. A. Hon’s
I was born in London, but has lived in Somerset, England most of my life. I studied Fine Art Painting at Kingston, London. Whilst in my 2nd Year at University, I won The David Murray Award for Landscape Painting from the Royal Academy of Art. My final year of university was spent with an appointed Royal Academy
Tutor and travelling to Derbyshire and Cornwall to do landscape paintings under his direction.
I particularly interested in movement and atmosphere, and inspired by the way light and wind moves through the landscapes affecting the environment and it’s moods. My drawing are in Conté as this best reflects the effects she is trying to achieve. I am greatly affected by the mood of my
surroundings and the medium I choos to use reflects this.
When drawing people and interiors, I like to discover the subjects personality or place well so that I can put emotions and experiences into my art. I paint with either Oil or Encaustic’s, which take me a considerable about of time......several months to complete. The Encasutic and Oil paintings are between 4 to 6ft square in size. The larges t I did was 12x6 ft. |
