Catherine is a third generation painter from the Harvey family in Cornwall. She studied at Falmouth and Winchester Schools of Art. Her childhood and formative years were spent sailing the Cornish, Breton and Irish coasts with her family and her links with the sea go back generations. Some of the most memorable journeys of her childhood were travelling out to the Isles of Scilly from Newlyn harbour and spying the granite castles and caves from off shore.

Moving back to Cornwall recently after living in the Home Counties for many years has led to this body of work from the last six months. It is taken from spending most of the time working on drawings and paintings out on the cliffs and the excitement and energy that comes from being in the landscape, quiet, for long periods of time.
