Auckland based Artist - Catherine Outwin
Auckland-based artist Catherine Outwin creates contemporary abstract paintings establishing her own vocabulary of texture and interruption through colour and form. After studying Visual Arts at M.I.T. in 2004 she has painted from her studio in Takapuna.
Her work is inspired by seductive materials such as resin, acrylics and mixed media and are created after meditating on subjects such as light and landscape.
By a process of addition and manipulation Catherine explores the relationship between surface and depth, creating a dynamic interplay between elements.

Lisa was born in Auckland at the start of the 1970s, living in a small campsite community on the North Shore called Browns Bay. She spent a significant part of her life with her grandparents, often hanging out at the beaches. Lisa has many happy memories from those days at Browns Bay beach, where fish were plentiful on the point and the ocean was rich in seaweed. She played in the water for hours, going home totally “sun-kissed.” “An adorable time to grow up,” Lisa tells me.
Lisa enjoyed many sports; she was a keen tennis player and netballer, playing in the top teams for her age right up until the family moved to Wellington. Lisa was fifteen years old, which unfortunately marked the end of her sporting career. Local teams were well established in Wellington, and her attention was drawn elsewhere.
