Artist CV
Mixed media artist, painter, teacher and self-confessed gypsy wanderer Cathy Shugg is endlessly inspired by the world around her:
“My art is a response to life experiences, wherever they happen.”
Cathy is an award-winning Australian artist with many years of experience as an art maker and teacher. Based in her studio-gallery in Bowral and travelling widely, she creates original paintings, mixed media and collage art for purchase and by commission. She has painted en plein air on six continents to date, undertaking artist residencies, expeditions and other adventures to challenge and inspire her artmaking. Cathy’s love of life, colour, landscape and narrative is evident in her plein air and studio work. Her plein air pieces capture personally significant experiences and observations of life and place, and these “moments in time” artworks then inspire further explorations in paint, collage and mixed media in her Bowral studio.
Cathy’s art teaching encompasses a similarly broad range of 2D media, techniques and themes. She is a feature artist and teacher for organisations in Australia and overseas and conducts art workshops and demonstrations on request.
Cathy exhibits in solo and group shows in Australia and Europe. Her art is represented in private and corporate collections in Australia, Europe, the UK and North America.
