Colour
Colour is the element of my work which is remarked upon most of all. In fact I have many followers who tell me that they look out for my new posts as they find my joyful use of colour so up-lifting.

Unison Colour welcomes Cathy Pearce as an Associate Artist
Pastels are my passion with which I indulge my love for colour. They offer the greatest versatility and immediacy in my painting practice.
When I am not working on a collection of landscapes then I am using my garden as inspiration. I love to paint and observe the world around me on a daily basis to build up greater understanding of it. I do not put a label on my style. It is constantly developing as I broaden my painting knowledge and experience.
I run workshops in pastel techniques, landscapes and still life.

Gold Splashes Through the Dark Oaks
With a grin I sometimes introduce myself as the mad lady who paints the hill. Roundway Hill near Devizes in Wiltshire and the surrounding fields are my subject as I love to observe them every day.
