Cathy Cullis

About this artist:  "Born in London 1969, I am an Arts Graduate with both a BA hons and a MA - despite the academic side to me, I'm very much a self-taught creative artist. I work in my small studio space, listening to music and surrounded by my favourite collections of art and craft.   I'm also a published poet. I received an Eric Gregory award for poetry in 1996 from the Society of Authors. My work has been published in a variety of journals and I've had a couple of pamplet/chapbook collections published. Currently working on many new poems....  I love to make things with my own two hands, using simple materials: thread, fabric, paper and I have a love of history, art history, folklore, memory, folk art, nostalgia, design and fashion. I delight in the work of many other artists, especially the outsider Madge Gill, the poet/artist William Blake, countless historical painters, as well as modern textile artist Alice Kettle.  I have exhibited work in the UK and US. My work has been featured in various magazine / journals both in the US and UK."

Cathy Hillegas

Statement from the Artist:  "I did not intend to become an artist when I signed up for a watercolor class in 1993. I was hooked from the very beginning and fell in love with the transparency, the glow, and the unpredictability of watercolor. Many classes, workshops, books, and hours with a brush in my hand later, I now teach watercolor classes myself and still love every moment I spend painting."

Windy Lane Studio

Stunning oil painting by this artist.  Love the detail along the subjects back and the overall general melancholy veil of this painting.  Since I am not an art critic and not prolific in wordsmithing modern art, I will go no further except to suggest you visit this shop and see more intricate work from this artist.  You can get to the shop by clicking on the post title above.
