Scottish born painter, printmaker and art historian, Catherine Grubb received her art education at Edinburgh College of Art and the University of Edinburgh.

Catherine first established her reputation as an artist through printmaking. Her etchings have been exhibited widely and may be found in many public and private collections - including those of Vanessa Redgrave, Sophia Loren and Bryan Forbes. In recent years, she has spent more time painting, in a variety of media, working in particular on long term projects like “One Hundred Views of Lamorna Farmhouse” (near her home) and “The Journey” (featuring the A40 trunk road.) Her subject matter is otherwise wide ranging - from purely abstract paintings to etchings inspired by her interest in music and literature, as well as landscape, still life and animal studies at zoos and livestock shows. Drawing - from direct observation and from photography - forms the basis of much of her work.

Just as Catherine’s experience as an artist has benefited her teaching as an art historian, so her wide knowledge in this field has undoubtedly informed her own work. Those artists that she most admires include Pisanello, Palmer, Degas, Munch, Kandinsky, Bonnard, Nash and Burra.

Catherine now lives and works near Truro, Cornwall.
