Cathy Read
Multisensory Abstract Artist
Drawing with masking fluid, Cathy Read creates urban landscape paintings that reflect city life in all its glory. She re-imagines iconic architecture using explosive, colourful drops and trails of ink, held together with structured white lines. She uses influences drawn from various UK cities. Former Occupational Therapist Read embarked on an Art Journey in 2008, teaching herself contemporary art. These earlier paintings were circle-based abstracts. Later developing into urban landscapes, fueled by a lifelong interest in buildings.
