ARTIST BIO

Catherine is a multi-form artist whose work responds to place. Since graduating from the National Art School in Sydney, NSW, Catherine has been the recipient of three major art awards, Emerging Artist on the Rocks, Sydney (2006), The Waverly Art Prize (2007) and a residency at the Onslow Storrier Studio at the Cite Des Arts International Paris (2008) through the National Art School. Her work is held in private and public collections around Australia. In 2011 she was successful in securing a Regional Arts Fund (RAF) grant to do the major Public Art Project The Sea Hammock – What Lies Beneath and has subsequently been the feature artist on two RAF funded Projects including The Wisdom of the Elders Project (2012 – Video) and The Portland Botanical Gardens Art and Community Engagement Project (2013 – Painting/Photography/Installation). In 2014 Catherine initiated and facilitated the establishment of ‘The Space’, a short term, self funded residency for writers and artists and the Virtual Arboretum Portland, a four artist, interactive, installation project with public art outcomes. She was also Artist in Residence at the Narrawong District Primary School, as part of the Creative Art’s Artists in Schools Program using street art techniques to build a community mural called The Sea Creatures Street Art ProjectShedding a light on Orford was a project made for the Moyne Shire’s Pitch Project in 2015. In 2016 Catherine was part of the team for the successful Kang-o-Meerteek Small Town Transformation Project for Narrawong in Victoria. Currently she is working in collaboration with an ecologist, to bring to life a sculptural outdoor learning space and indigenous garden, called the DIGS project. This project has been supported by the Geoff and Helen Handbury Foundation.

In recent years Catherine’s paintings and installations have been exhibited in the Wyndham Art Prize and Chippendale New World Art Prize in Sydney. In 2018 she created an interactive art space titled Sink or Swim, for a weeks duration, for the Biennale of Australian Art in Ballarat.
