ARTIST STATEMENT

I consider myself a visionary. I view my artwork as inspiring, uplifting, and peaceful. I work with nature, both mother nature and the human nature. I paint, photograph, draw, and most of the time work in the world of mixed media. I like the freedom to use whatever techniques necessary to create the most perfect image. I like the freedom to work with landscape and portraiture and floral and any other genre I wish.
Illuminated Realism is a term I coined to describe my work. Sometimes simply beautiful, other times metaphysical, always reverent to nature and the human condition.
I'm one of the fortunate few who has been able to do art work in earnest, but without the need to sell. I am my own muse, along with my relationships, passions, and, my entire life experience.
There is a simplicity in my art that sometimes may be misunderstood. It's not that my work is devoid of intellectual content...It's that I have distilled my thoughts, process and imagery to the point, that it has come full circle, and once again, it is simple, clean, and innocent...Intellectual sophistication with a pure heart...................
My favorite statement about my art..."Cate, when i look at your work i am being reassured...it is as if someone was making these works for me." Kostas Epimenidis Thessalonik Greece
