Artist: Cathryn Cooper | Location: Lake Toxaway, NC
Lake Toxaway, NC
Cathryn Cooper is originally from Atlanta, GA. She studied drawing and painting with Kathryn Burke. She went to Atlanta College of Art, now SCAD. Her work has evolved from drawing and painting to mixed media/collage.
She received an award in 1993 from Arches Paper and placed one of her pieces at their mill headquarters in Epinal, France.
Her interest in storytelling with collage now includes found objects. The idea that all things can pose a visual dialog and relationship in our culture is of foremost interest now.
Using objects as visual metaphor becomes a favorite purpose in her methods of building a piece of work. As our culture at large continues to create waste, there are ways to find beauty in the simplest of the discarded.
