Catherine Pennington-Meyer is an award-winning artist who currently lives and works in Augsburg, near Munich, in Germany. Her work concentrates primarily on abstract expressionism. Catherine has participated in exhibitions throughout Europe and has quickly established a prestigious international customer base with collectors including royalty.
Catherine says of her art: `I see my painting as a kind of language, translating what I feel or experience to those viewing it. I am innately drawn to create raw, emotive, expressionist pieces, mostly abstracts, which distil a subject down to its feeling. I don`t only want my art to be `beautiful` but for it to reach out and touch the person who is viewing it on an immediate, intuitive level. I want my paintings to speak to their audience in their own visceral language. I am influenced by nature, particularly the multifaceted nature of water, and memories of growing up in particularly beautiful landscapes in North Yorkshire and Scotland. I also find human psychology fascinating. But I see compositions everywhere, whether it be flowers in a park, the way smoke curls, bottles in a bar, books on a library shelf or a street market. Everything is made up of shapes and colours. The world is made up of influences every day.
