CATHY QUINN

My current practice is an interpretation of my environment and experiences conditioned by my imagination.  Looking into the distance and experiencing the uncertainty of what lies within and beyond those undulating mountains. My focus is on the ambiguity created by melding shapes and weaving the layers of colour light and atmosphere.
