WATERFALL

11 x 14 in | Oil on Canvas | 2003

Painted during Catherine’s early art education years in California (2003), Waterfall reflects her developing mastery of landscape painting and intuitive observation of nature. This piece became both a study in brushwork and a spiritual exploration — an experiment in using various brushes to express the motion of leaves, the shimmer of water, and the textured depth of stone.

Amid the tranquil setting, subtle faces begin to emerge within the rocks — quiet guardians of the landscape — revealing Catherine’s early fascination with the unseen presence within natural forms. The cascading water flows as a bridge between worlds, symbolizing renewal and awakening.

Waterfall stands as an early testament to the artist’s evolving vision — where disciplined technique meets the soulful perception of nature’s hidden spirit.
