Cathy Yarwood-Mahy
Cathy is a Melbourne based artist with a particular interest in landscape art. The aim of her work is to capture the ethereal and spiritual aspects of the natural world and in her imagined landscapes. Her work ranges from realism, with a high level of detail, to more abstract and semi abstract pieces. The use of light has a pivotal role in creating impact and mood in her more realistic landscapes and portraits.
