ARTIST STATEMENT
Catherine Fields’ passion to create abstract paintings is the way she has found to share her inner sense of the world. It isn’t always purely abstract, often having a sense of landscape and nature. She mostly uses bright colours representing her positive and enthusiastic approach to life. She paints intuitively, freely and with gusto. When she paints, her emotions guide her into the painting and take over until she feels the work is complete.
Painting abstract gives Catherine a sense of freedom. She also likes to evoke mystery and intrigue and loves when the viewer finds her or his own way into the painting, seeing what they want to see.
Art is a crucial part of who Catherine is and how she lives her life, showing emotions and contentment.
