Catherine McVean

Catherine is a professional artist best known for her still life oil paintings which she describes as quiet celebrations of everyday life. Catherine chooses to pair seasonal items with objects from her home; either treasured pieces she has collected over time or objects chosen for their own beauty, shape and texture.

Close observation and accurate drawing is central to Catherine’s work. Alongside this is a fascination with colour; both the design and placement of colours in a composition and the study and mixing of colours on her palette.

Catherine is primarily self taught but has taken a number of short courses at Heatherleys School of Fine Art, London Art College and Central St Martins. Catherine paints full time from her studio in Ascot.
