Catherine
Hale is an artist working in the Central West of NSW. Having grown up in Sydney
she knows that there is more to life than living under the flight path a block
from Parramatta Road.
She is
now based in Bathurst and is the proud owner of a recently built
backyard studio. Within this space, overlooking chicken coops and
vegetable gardens; Catherine joins the frames, stretches the canvases and
creates her paintings
ARTIST STATEMENT
My
figurative paintings are executed from the imagination. They are narratives
drawn from people and landscapes encountered:
Ø
during
travels in a caravan round Australia
Ø
working
on a multicultural program at the community centre
Ø
caring
for Bathurst elderly and
Ø
volunteering
at school vege garden working bees
I also work
in landscape and still life; these are the inhabited spaces without the people.
