Catherine Burbridge

Stand: 705

I'm Catherine Burbridge and I paint about love and loss, responding to my emotions and experiences of living with loss.

My work is deeply personal and I feel as if I’m creating an archive of feelings and memories within my paintings. I make honest, emotional portraits of my inner self, conversing with my grief and remembering a life much missed.

Nature has been an important source of nurture and comfort, as well as inspiration for much of my work. I find meaning and healing within it. This is a place where you will find authentic heartfelt artwork. Art that's about the screaming intensity of loss; making sense of all its contradictions an d unknows, of rebuilding and reclaiming yourself as life moves on.

There is love, beauty and joy within my art and I hope you will feel that contrast and delicate balance. Perhaps recognising something that feels familiar or meaningful from your own experience, something that draws you in and you finally feel seen. I explore the lightness of new experiences or memories, remembering and wondering what life might have been or could be still.

In essence I paint ongoing conversations with my late husband Mark, the person I used to be and the person I am becoming.
