Jared goes on a solo mission to visit with figurative and abstract painter Catherine Woskow out at her art studio tucked away in the local foothills amongst the ferns and fruit trees. Woskow grew up in Mendocino County, but left to study painting at Bradford Liberal Arts College in Massachusetts on a scholarship straight out of high school. From there, she studied abroad at Koninklijke Academy of Art in the Netherlands and quickly built a presence in the art world in the U.S. and abroad. She invited Art Revolution to come view her newest paintings called the “Limbo” series. Her use of color and her abstract-figurative style dazzles the eyes and invokes raw, visceral human response to her work. I was honored to be invited to her home and studio to enjoy a conversation about creativity, painting and life. Enjoy Episode 22 with this local talent and widely acclaimed artist/painter Catherine Woskow.
