The Red Canvas opened in August 2001, fulfilling a lifelong dream for her that began at an early age. Catherine is an impressionist painter who begins each piece with a red painted canvas, hence giving inspiration to the gallery name. In viewing this site, you will see that her brush strokes are bold and her choice of color explosive. You are invited to come visit the gallery and studio, view Catherine's works in progress, chat with students and sign up for weekly painting classes.
