KATHERINE MEREDITH
Abstracts and Impressionism is how I interpret my subjects. My work is inspired by nature and its surroundings and captures the beauty, the rhythm and patterns created by nature. My work is bold and colourful and my subjects are seascapes, landscapes, waterscapes and cityscapes.
Born in 1958, Katherine Meredith (Strutt) was raised in the beautiful Gatineau hills. She is the daughter of an accomplished architect and has been surround by architectural and artistic people most of her life. Katherine is a graduate of Fine Arts, John Abbott College in Montreal. She then pursued her degree in commercial Art from Algonquin College in 1980. Over the years she worked for various graphic studios, printing companies and was marketing manager for a national company for 15 years before retiring to a new career, renovating homes.
Katherine has since retired from doing home renovations and has picked up her brushes full time. She and her husband moved to the island in 2012, and the island has become the backdrop to her inspirations. From cityscapes in Victoria to water scenes throughout the island on their camping trips and to the local areas scenery, all give her fantastic ideas for her creative interpretation. She tries to capture the moment or memory on canvas and to explore various techniques to reflect the mood.
Katherine’s medium is acrylics, but has also produced many works in watercolors, pencil, and carvings. She has a wide range of styles from impressionism to abstracts based on the inspiration of her surroundings. So it is hard to pin her down but it is usually very colorful and bold! “Nature when looked at closely, very closely, shows spectacular shapes and colors that we tend to miss or ignore.” Landscapes, Cityscapes, Gardens, Flowers and Boats all add to her visual inspirations.
