ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Powerful animal connections have been a part of my life since I was a child. Using metaphor and symbolism, this series explores those intimate connection through the interpretation of animal and human spirit. When I happen upon these beautiful creatures in my everyday life, it’s as if the folk tales read during my childhood, with their magical relationships between animals and humans, have come to life.

Catherine lives in Jamestown, New York with her husband, George (who is a lawyer, but a nice one), in a 1940s farmhouse with a yard that is way too big for them to handle with their non-existent landscaping skills. They share their house with an incredibly mean cat, Gilbert, who is plotting their demise while being tortured by their overweight Labrador retriever, Murphy.
