"My artwork attempts to capture the melding of two environments. From the open plains of the Riverina to the rolling green landscapes of North East Victoria- my work is always informed by my surrounds. Favourite contemporary subjects include shearing sheds, worn patinas, rural snapshots, bird life and still life arrangements.  Invigorating the senses and celebrating all that nature has to offer forms the basis for my latest works" - Catherine Stewart.

Catherine is a contemporary artist from Wooragee in regional Victoria.  Her fresh approach to artmaking utilises gestural and mark making skills , capturing rural Australian subjects.

“My visual arts practice primarily involves drawing, painting and mixed media works on paper and canvas, inspired by organic and regional rustic themes. The process involves a confident, expressive use of colour, line and texture with an emphasis on mark making”.

  Catherine’s unique arts practice captures the beauty of  everyday subjects , engaging the viewer on many levels. Her work is highly regarded in  NSW, Queensland.

Since completing a Bachelor of Arts degree (Visual Arts) in 1995 at Charles Sturt University Wagga Wagga, Catherine’s early flair for drawing was nurtured in an artistic home from a young age. She has enjoyed working as an art teacher for many years and is enjoying fulfilling a long held dream of becoming a professional artist. Catherine exhibits regularly both regionally and interstate and has enjoyed many successes to date.
