Cathy Usatoff is a contemporary landscape painter inspired by the Mornington Peninsula. Her work blends memories and imagination, capturing the seasonal beauty of the region's farms, wineries, and coastal bushland. Predominantly using acrylics on canvas, she explores the interplay between representation and abstraction. Cathy's vibrant pieces begin with a strongly colored background, building layers of harmonizing and opposing colors through instinctive and intuitive marks.
