Cathy Earle has pursued an artistic life ever since she was young. After graduating from the Art Fundamentals program , she continued to hone her skills at Sheridan College, in the Illustration program. Subsequently, she attended the Ontario College of Art and graduated with a Fine Arts Degree. She has expanded her skills in Graphic Design and Interior Design , to compliment her skills as an artist. Consistent thematic inspirations include vibrant colour, dramatic lighting, and the intricate patterns created by shadows in the sun. Many of her paintings depict lively subject matter, especially flowers, gardens, and other objects found in the home, as well as sailboats and waterscapes. Cathy has a keen eye in presenting images in dynamic compositions with a focus on how the subjects relate to each other. Watercolour is her specialty, but she also enjoys painting with gauche, oils, acrylics, and printmaking.
