My style is always evolving. Through the completion of many series of paintings I have kept techniques that work for me and thrown away those that don't. This has lead me to my current style which I call textural expressionism. My work is very gestural and loose. Lately, I use my hands (with gloves) and palette knives more than brushes. I find this makes the marks I make very unique and interesting. Since the pandemic I have been more focused on nature and have completed a small series of paintings focused on water. Here is one of my latest paintings called November Reservior. I feel like this painting embodies the best of my painting skill. The painting is loose and expressive but retains the representational image of the scene.

Catherine Picard-Gibbs- Through my paintings, I have become attentive to the splendid drama of my everyday world; how light hangs on a tree or building, the movement or stillness of water passing under a bridge, the mystery of a tunnel, a church interior or the grit of a train yard. My work is contemporary but takes cues from painters of the past. Archives
