Catherine Perehudoff studied painting and textile arts at Voss Folkehogskule in Norway and has a Bachelor of Arts degree in art history from the University of Saskatchewan. She participated in the Emma Lake Artists’ Workshop (Saskatchewan), the Triangle Workshop (New York) and the Symposium of Young Artists (Quebec) and worked for artist Kenneth Noland for a year in New York. The many places where she has lived and explored are reflected in the diversity of her landscapes. “Watercolours are my medium of choice when working en plein air,” says Catherine. “The freshness that my watercolour paintings convey comes from depicting the landscape in flux. When painting in nature, I strive to capture the moments of changing light, atmosphere, and weather. The knowledge and experience that I gain from painting on location is an important aspect of my artistic practice; I carry this with me to my studio where it reveals itself as the major driving force behind my work.” Based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Catherine is married to artist and university professor Graham Fowler, has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and is an avid scuba diver.
