CATHERINE SMITH

(b. 1955 Keighley, UK)

Catherine Smith’s recent paintings and drawings reflect her interest in linear journeys. They are "traces of where I have been” - not literal landscapes or of specific places but creative gestures concerned with shape, scale and colour. The artist has a BA(Hons) in Graphic Design from Newcastle Polytechnic and has worked as a graphic designer and on community arts projects. Since she started exhibiting her paintings in 2015 they have been shown in Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire. In 2017 she won the Cambridge News Award for an Outstanding Contemporary Watercolour and in 2022 the SEAW Royal Watercolour Society Award.
