Catriona Yates

Each painting is an exploration between loose painting and controlled detail, built up over many layers. This variation of mark making can be seen from a distance and you are also rewarded close up. The paintings change and develop over many sessions, often with a mind of their own.

I am naturally drawn to natural forms and patterns, ranging from flowers to snowflakes. I use a combination of design, colour and technique to produce vibrant and imaginative art. I’m constantly exploring my use of paint and mixed media to develop my finished paintings.

The end result is both uplifting and rewarding.

"I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for."
Georgia O'Keeffe
