Catherine Donnelly

Dreams and visions swim up before my eyes but I can never paint them, they all end up looking like cartoons. So I leave them to the writers, the poets and the visionaries, and go back to the earthy, watery world outside me, whose beauty says without words all I need to say. If I can get that, if I can make it move on the canvas, capture it in my mind and unravel it through my fingertips,and if I can be satisfied, I know someone else will be moved by it, will love it. That's really my heart's desire...
I've been drawing I could hold a pencil, and painting since I was nine or ten, when I found my dad's old paints and palette in the basement. I'm self taught, though I credit my dad with passing on the artistic gene, and my grandmother with teaching me how to draw horses.
