Catherine Grawin
Impressionist Painter |
|
Catherine Grawin of Solana Beach, CA, paints landscapes en plein air, still life and abstracts in studio. A true colorist, her bold and loose brushwork is the signature style that appeals to her collectors. Catherine loves the California landscape and makes frequent painting trips in her vintage trailer - which she uses as a mobile art studio. She teaches painting out of her studio, demonstrates painting technique, and judges art competitions.
Catherine has studied painting with artists Sebastian Capella, John Asaro, Joe Garcia,
Pat Kelly and Ray Anne Marks, among others.
Catherine has a BA degree from SDSU in Graphic Design and Illustration with a Spanish Minor. Post graduate work includes architectural design and rendering.
She owns and operates ADLib Graphic Design and Illustration in Solana Beach, CA, in business since 1991.
