Welcome, friends. I’m Catherine Burroughs, CZT38
"Art is not what you see, but what you make others see" ~Edgar Degas
Catherine is a multidisciplinary artist and communication specialist with over twenty years of experience developing rich, compelling, creative art through a unique combination of writing and technical art & design abilities. She focuses on working with communities of people where collaboration meets art & design to encourage the belief that art heals.
Her practice centers on a fascination with connection, collaboration and sensory experience and her pieces intentionally reflect movement through natural, curved line patterns and repetitive motifs which create harmony and balance. Her work is always a reflection of her personality and experiences, particularly her love of color, texture, light, and architectural influences.
Her portfolio includes a breadth of art types -- graphic design efforts; hand stitched needlework designs and patterns; pen and ink precision works; as well as book-making and abstract paintings as well as playing in mixed media.
She aims to empower individuals and communities to navigate their own healing journeys utilizing varied art forms. She tries to encourage people to think beyond what they see; to feel emotion and grasp meaning beyond basic images. to initiate deeper conversation, and trigger investigative explorations in the hopes that her brand of storytelling inspires curiosity and awareness.
