Born and
raised in Scarborough, Ontario. Her
interest in art was evident at very young
age. This interest led her to a vocational
arts high school and on to David Thompson
University in British Columbia for fine
arts. After completing a design course in
London, Ontario she began to work as a
design consultant and has won numerous
awards with Landscape Ontario.
Cathy works
from her home studio on the north shore of
Lake Scugog.
Cathy’s art
has a distinct woodland flavor. Her work on
slate has become very diversified and she is
now including copper, aluminum and cedar in
her pieces. Chalk pastel is the main medium
as it marries so well with the texture of
the stone. ‘I find the slate to be an
amazing medium to work with. Some times I
will have the inspiration for a piece
before choosing the stone and other times
the slate itself will dictate what I’ll
create”. Her subject choice is
a reflection of our
surroundings.
