Artist's Mission Statement
Cathy Wessels
My paintings are my personal interpretation of the beauty that surrounds me in San Diego's North County.
I have great memories of standing at the edge of the ocean trying to capture the shadows in paint while everything is constantly shifting.
I paint with friends. We all love to be out there and the laughter between us is more important than any finished work.
Painting is a privilege as well as a discipline.
It’s an extended journey that has many captivating destinations.
I love the negative spaces of sky between the limbs of trees, the grey tones in the fog of a December morning, and the mirrored images of reeds on the calm lagoons.
I hope my art brings joy and inspiration to
all who see it.
