Cathy S R Read - Fine Artist
Member Since: 06/22/2012
Cathy's work displays energy and freedom. Emphasising movement and expression with inspiration from personal experiences. Such as urban changes in her native Manchester, UK. These mixed media abstracts depict geometric shapes and architecture.
Her style grew while experimenting with texture and controlling liquid ink with air. Masking linear patterns which provide structure and allowing a deeper exploration of abstract concepts.
Recent local exhibitions include Linacre College, Oxford and Stowe House in Buckinghamshire.
Cathy's a self-taught artist, leaving a career in Occupational therapy for Art in 2008. Participating in solo and group exhibitions in Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire since then.
In 2012 Cathy saw Cathy's first group exhibitions in France and Norway.
Previous experiences include: Working with Tate Modern in September 2011 as part of a painting based performance piece; Exhibiting and demonstrating at John Lewis; Live drawing for Force India F1 at the British Grand Prix; Residency at Fringe MK.
Publicity Officer for Buckingham Art for All from 2010-2012. Cathy has been involved in planning local exhibitions.
