Catherine Richardson

Catherine grew up near the Moors and Dales of northern England and attended Art College near London for her BFA. She now lives and works in Austin Texas and London UK.
Moving between countries challenges her sense of belonging yet serves as a portal into the greater human experience.
Particulars of place and time each become her poetic layering of imagery. Her paintings juxtapose influences of geology with her personal participation in more remote and untamed landscapes of California, Peru, England, Ireland, France and Iceland.

After graduating with an MFA from John F Kennedy University, Berkeley Annex, Ca., Catherine was grantee of the Sonoma County Emerging Artist Award.

In 2018 her work, "Floeberg" and "Shelf Crack" won her a First Prize award from “Visions Of Science” exhibition at Bath Edge Arts, University Of Bath, England.
