Catherine Cox Whitis is a contemporary artist with roots in East Tennessee who now lives and works in Atlanta. Drawing inspiration from nature, pattern, and beautiful interiors, she focuses on experimenting with abstraction of color and line. She received training in studio art and photography from the University of Georgia, and spent several years in Advertising and Digital Marketing. Artist Statement:My work focuses on defining the feelings experienced in nature. Especially influenced by the complex water systems of our natural world in the southeast, each piece is designed to capture a glimpse of the soothing and uplifting feeling we immediately feel when in nature. We are interconnected as members of the whole natural world.
