Catherine A Palmer paints figurative landscapes in oil. She says of her medium: “I love the vibrant colors of oil and I love that you can work with the paint for hours even days before it dries. It is a very flexible medium. It reminds me of clay, I feel as if I am sculpting a painting.”
Catherine says one way the WARM mentorship program has changed her artmaking is:
“I take myself more seriously as an artist. It has boosted my confidence and pushed me in directions I never imagined I wanted to go. I have learned to not be afraid to make mistakes and that during the process of art making nothing is precious.”
Following her experience as a protege, Catherine says: “I plan to be a frequently exhibiting artist active in our local artists’ community. Surrounding myself with other artists will be key to my success.”
