Cathy loves using different mediums and surfaces for her paintings. She paints on paper and canvas but also on ceramics and fabric. This has helped her artwork be affordable to all.
She loves experimenting with plaster, glue, acrylics and nail varnish to give a 2d effect and the results are very tactile.
Cathys work is on display in cafes and she also has a small shop attached to her studio.
Her largest commission was a bee for Bee in the City, Manchester, where she was sponsored by Bupa to paint a bee and her design was The Homing Bee based on the homeless, which stood tall in St Annes Square, Manchester for the summer of 2018 and raised alot of money for the Lord Mayor of Manchester’s charity.
