Catherine Kernan

"The work of Catherine Kernan is quietly reflective, filled with minute changes of color and complexity of line that cause the viewer to stop and contemplate the image. But like the landscape that inspires her, this work pulses with energy. Beneath a calm surface, underground springs and rivers create movement. Plants show signs of vigorous growth. We are called to meditate on one moment in time, but sense that this moment is brief. Layering one image upon another, Kernan creates a visual metaphor for the potential of all living things to grow and change."
