CATHY HAMMOND
ART INSPIRED BY NATURE
about
Cathy Hammond's work is a meditation of colour and texture; a language of landscapes, creatures, and mysticism that invites viewers to experience a sense of awe and wonder.
Pouring acrylics on canvas allows Cathy to create unique backgrounds that truly transcend our world. Once dried, she studies the piece, patiently waiting for a
spark of inspiration, and then the transformation begins...
From breathtaking landscapes to playful creatures, Cathy draws inspiration from her backyard in Sooke, British Columbia.
Cathy's art inspired by nature welcomes you to nourish your heart and soul.
