The third session will include water and reflections. Catherine will work from photographs taken in the field but will demonstrate her technique live. The fourth session, Catherine will critique student work and answer your final questions.
Catherine Hillis has always been an achiever in the arts As a youngster, she won awards for her artwork and she acted and modeled in print and television ads, later majoring in theater. As a young adult, she worked as a costume designer and actress in repertory theatre.
Hillis moved from the theatre arts to visual art during the 80’s. She paints in all mediums but her favorite is watercolors because of its transparency and immediacy. The artist finds herself drawn to scenes that are neglected, finding intrinsic beauty in the most forgotten of places.
