Between shadows and reflections, the artist is on the lookout for the slightest vibrations of the world. It would appear that the landscape is always welcome at her table. It lets itself be caressed by the eyes, assuming a particular colour at each season. After the blooming of tender greens with their host of silky nuances comes the bright, heady yellow of rapeseed, followed by the celestial and purifying blue of flax, the soft amber dance of grasses (orchard grass, fescue, bluegrass and wild oats), the intoxicating purples of autumn and then the heavy silence of snow, where twigs and delicate bird footprints evoke a hopping calligraphic script from far Eastern shores. It is no longer clear whether it is Caty creating the artwork or the artwork bringing her into being. For her, painting represents a constant spiritual journey, a way of recognising the reassuring presence of things, of penetrating into the thickness of water and the shimmering depths of the mirror showed to her every day in the bounding river nearby.
