biography and artist statement
Catherine Gutsche, Ottawa artistArtist: Catherine Gutsche, Ottawa, Canada
Catherine Gutsche is an Ottawa based abstract artist with paintings in private collections in Canada, the United States and Europe. She studied Fine Art at York University in Toronto, earning an Honours Bachelor of Fine Art/Graphic Design degree.

Since moving to Ottawa to work as a webmaster/graphic designer for a large multi national company, Catherine has returned to her beloved roots in painting, enjoying an intimate relationship with colour, texture and pattern. Now retired from the corporate world Catherine paints full-time.

"I am a self-described process painter. I am inspired by my surroundings; awestruck by nature’s transient characteristics and processes. I find beauty in how nature presents and transforms itself complete with its imperfections. My inspirations often stem from natural forms such as lichens, old crumbling bricks or just simply rusting metals.

I am preoccupied by the intuitive journey that paint takes me on with its colour and texture when working with layers that can be revealed through scratching back, rubbing away or lifting, to bring back the history of the previous layers.

I do not replicate nature, I am inspired by nature's improvisation and I open myself up to its influences. I hope that people will view my paintings and join me in the adventure of getting lost in nature and my creative process."
