“As the youngest of three artist-siblings, I’ve been drawing and painting all my life. Much of my work reflects a lifelong love affair with the landscape, including the New England, mostly rural, vista that is a part of my everyday life.

When traveling, I seek out the local hills, waters, vegetation and early, distinctive or historic architecture.

A recent residency in Orquevaux, France (Pop. 75) is currently playing an important part in my artistic journey. I made connections with painters, writers, sculptors, and musicians from all over the world and of a wide range of ages and stages. After two years of seeing almost no one outside my tiny bubble, this experience informed, and will continue to inform, the work I’m doing in the studio. I returned home feeling refreshed and with a renewed sense of peace.

My aim is to convey a feeling of connection and tranquility.” -Catherine Meeks
