About the artist

Cathy Jones came to put paint on paper in the middle years of her life, long after having been inspired by the impressionist painters while studying for her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Paris and Grenoble, France in the early 1970s. After graduation from the University of Illinois, She married and moved to New England. There she was immersed in the culture and art of Boston, Cambridge and Harvard University. Cathy was impressed by the coastal scenery of Maine and Massachusetts, so her very first paintings were of lighthouses. When she moved to Denver, Colorado, in 1977, Cathy discovered Georgia O’Keefe and fell in love with her sensuous style of painting flowers and southwestern landscapes. Cathy moved to her home in Evergreen, Colorado, in 1990 and gets much of her subject matter from the surrounding beauty of the Rocky Mountains and the wildlife who also call it home. Cathy continues to explore the medium of watercolor and it constantly reveals itself to her in different ways and inspires her to be more creative.
