About Catherine:
Richly layered, woven symbolic pieces, utilise elements of sacred geometry, often taking the form of powerful energetic mandala pieces on wood, with thousands of pins, precious stones and Welsh sea glass; or reclaimed wooden sculptures and colourful abstracts with woven embellishments. Their depth, beauty and symmetry, drawing the eye within them, to evoke harmony and awaken the soul.
Catherine’s work stems from years of world travel, an opportunity to spend a great deal of time with local artisans; igniting a passion for beautiful woven textiles and bold contemporary styles, as well as spiritual practices favoured by the people of Asia and South America.
Following a degree in Illustration from UWTSD in 2003; her creative career has taken the form of freelance graphic design, and more recently, the inclusion of artistic endeavours, undertaking commissions all over the world. Her work has been exhibited here in Wales, as well as the USA.
Based in South Wales, recognised internationally.
