Cathryn Cooper - Brevard, NC
Cathryn was born in Atlanta, Georgia. She displayed talent at an early age and began private instruction with Atlanta artist Kathryn Burke at age 6. She continued her studies of drawing and painting and earned a scholarship to Atlanta College of Art, now SCAD, in 1976. After graduating in 1980 with a BFA in Fine Arts, her focus was drawing, painting and photography. With a love of music and theatre as well, she maintained her involvement in the arts community working at the Robert W. Woodruff Arts Center in Atlanta.
Cathryn participated in shows throughout the Southeast and in 1993, she won a competition sponsored by Argo Wiggins, parent company of Arches Paper. In celebration of their 500-year anniversary of the Arches paper mill in Epinal, France, she personally presented her winning entry to them which now hangs in the mill’s headquarters. Her work continued on paper and canvas using assorted materials to create elaborate mixed media pieces. Her inspiration is derived from found objects, combining them as totems in collage.
Cathryn lives in the North Carolina mountains. The natural surroundings have become very influential for her vision. From collage to drawing to painting, she is happy to express herself in her new home studio located in Brevard, North Carolina.
