Catherine Ann

Catherine Ann grew up with a deep love for the Australian countryside, spending weekends camping, chasing cows and climbing under old, disused woolsheds. Most of the time she wore torn clothes, dirt and smiles in equal measure. Memories of wide-open skies, the smell of eucalyptus and campfire smoke on misty air have stayed with her and continue to influence her work.

​

Catherine Ann was inspired at a young age by her father's oil paintings hung at home, an inspiring art teacher in her formative years, and private tuition in pastels and ANU Art School oil painting classes as a young adult.  While raising her young family, Catherine Ann turned her passion to acrylic painting, enjoying a first prize ribbon at The Royal Canberra Show in 2019.

​

In May 2026, Catherine presented her first solo exhibition, at The Q Gallery in Canberra - You Are Here – Landscapes for slow looking, a successful exhibition that sold 11 of the 13 paintings on display.
