About
Catherine Hyde
Artist, Writer, and Award-winning Illustrator
Helston, Cornwall
‘She is, if you will, a visual poet weaving images, symbols and archetypes into paintings that resonate in the subconscious and linger there like half-remembered dreams or the dark fairy stories with which she has such affiliation’. Pip Palmer, Galleries Magazine

My paintings strive to create an atmosphere that touches upon the liminal, evoking visceral sensations, moments or memories of being the watcher in the landscape, witness to the wild movements of birds and animals.
