This is an opportunity to view the work and meet Cathy, whose work explores themes of loss; memory, life events common to us all, which with the passage of time, may assume far more significance. She also teaches one of our most popular courses, You Can Draw! 

Cathy was one of our star artists who exhibited and produced work during Open Gardens last Summer.  With an interest in collective memory, Cathy has also built a series of work called the ‘Stamp Collection’, begun during lockdown, and still ongoing. So come and see the inspiration behind her teaching and her work.

All works will be for sale. As well as the framed originals on display, prints will also be available.

We look forward to seeing you there!
