Bio
Pat Cathey is an accomplished painter of watercolor imagery whose work has consistently been the recipient of numerous awards and has been collected by such corporations as Merrill Lynch, HCA, AmSouth Bank, First Union Bank and the Alabama Gas Corporation. She has received her signature membership in the National Watercolor Society.
Cathey received her bachelor’s degree in art education from Middle Tennessee State University and continued further studies in art with the University of Tennessee at Nashville, George Peabody College and Watkins Institute. She has attended watercolor workshops led by Edgar A. Whitney and Anton Weiss as well as mixed media workshops by Alex Powers, Carole Barnes, and Katherine Chang Liu. She herself has taught classes in drawing, painting and printmaking.
Style
Pat Cathey painted for years in watercolor, doing impressionistic work, loose watercolors that suggested realistic scenes. She began using acrylics from a need for opaque areas in her painting. She now paints more abstractly.
Cathey begins a painting with color and texture – always working with design principles in mind. Once the image appears of what she wants to develop, she lets memories and imagination take over. She then works toward order in her paintings.
Artist Statement
I’m guided by years of study in design and composition. This method seems to give me the tools to express what I have to say in my art.
