'…Cath’s process starts off on location where she takes digital photographs of the landscape.

She also takes photographs of ‘textures’ which can be painted or mixed media pieces or natural finds like surfaces such as rocks and bark. Some of Cath’s textures are photos of peeling paint, scratched metal, rust, fabric, old paper…all sorts of unusual things…

Back in the studio she uses a digital graphics tablet to blend the landscape photography with these ‘textures’, building up sections to add colour, depth and form.

Each finished piece might have 10 and 20 layers of digital collage in addition to the original landscape photograph.’
