Catherine Forshall was brought up on the West coast of Scotland and now lives between Devon and the South West of France. Her love for the ocean and the mystery and magic that dwells within in it is self evident in her work, much of which focuses on the lives of creatures that exist half in and half out of the water. She works in many media including acrylic on canvas and watercolour, and uses a variety of techniques to achieve the complex, multifaceted appearance that is so characteristic of her paintings.
