Natural Inspiration

12th -18th August 2015

Catherine Dowell

 

  • Catherine took a Foundation course and then an honours degree in Fine Art at Coventry University – School of Art and Design.  She is married to Spencer Instone, and has made Tewkesbury her home since 1992.

 

  • “When I first started painting (many years ago) I was just fascinated and amazed by the beauty of the world around me. Over the years that I have been painting my work has developed. I continually see more in the complex world of nature and how it fits into the framework of our daily living.
  • I am still interested in representing the natural world, but as I have matured I also feel the need to express my own feelings in the work, and my own relation to the natural world around me.
  • I try to use colour and line to express my relationship to nature, as well as taking inspiration from the textures and colour mixes that appear in the world around us.
  • I am a painter because that is the way I communicate and not through words like these.  So I hope that you will better understand my feelings for nature through looking at my work and hopefully you will also enjoy the paintings.”

Facing the Bandstand is the Proscenium Building where we now have our Gallery.

  2. For exhibitors delivering their work, there is a locked bollard to be removed at the gardens entrance. See link below for details.
  3. Unfortunately, there is no disabled parking in the gardens.
  4. Exhibitors should take care to design their exhibition layout with wheelchair use in mind.
