Our guest demonstrator will be having the wonderfully talented artist, Cathy VanEe. Cathy will be demonstrating a child portrait in pastel for us.
Born in Victoria Australia, Cathy now lives on the beautiful and majestic Mornington Peninsula. The Peninsula is a treasure trove of breathtaking coastal vistas that have made their way into many of Cathy’s paintings.
Cathy’s love of painting started at a young age where, as a child, she first went with her father to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. There she came to stand in front of the masterful works of Rembrandt, Vermeer, Jan Asselijn, Frans Hals, which left an indelible image in her mind’s eye forming a deep passion and lifelong desire devoted to the mastering of figurative representational painting.
Cathy’s love for travel has allowed her to revisit many of her favourite museums around Europe where she was able to study, appreciate and gain a wealth of knowledge viewing her favourite paintings especially in the genre of the Impressionists. Their glowing light through the brilliance of shimmering colour transitions, leaps from the canvases, radiating conscious and joyous emotions from the seductive interplay of the complementary colours.
This is where her appetite for colour and her academic understanding of art has emerged in her painting, along with the emotional importance that she infuses into her concepts, ideas, and teaching. As Cathy says to her students, the most important thing is to be in touch with your inner self and awareness. Create in the moment without judgement and creating becomes effortless.
