Cathy Reed - Reception August 11, 1:00 - 3:00
I paint in oil, watercolor and silk paint and also do paper collage. I have won numerous awards through Iowa Artists. I joined Iowa Artists statewide art group in the 1980’s and took summer art courses through this organization that was taught by Richard Heggen, a professor of art at Iowa State College. I have studied art with many artists such as Wendell Mohr, Bettina Perkins, Kay Wall, Barb J. Gronstal , Barb McGee, Connie Hankens and Dora Hagge to name a few. My silk painting started after reading a book on painting with silk dye. I fell in love with the medium and continue to love it.
Artist’s Statement
My thoughts on convention and vision in art is, that we have to create to please ourselves but have the vision that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What inspires my voice is that I try to make art that is not only beautiful but makes a statement about things around us. I deal with the public by making art that is wearable besides art that can be put on a wall. - Cathy L. Reed
