Artist Catherine Freshley, originally from Portland, Oregon, returned home in 2020 after residing in various locations around the country for 15 years. Throughout her life, Freshley has nurtured her artistic talents and passion for painting, starting from a young age. In 2016, she made the decision to leave her full-time job at an advertising agency to dedicate more time to her burgeoning art side business. Her passion lies in painting and creating vibrant artwork that brings joy to people. Her preferred medium is acrylic on canvas. While she mainly depicts places she has visited based on photographs she has captured, she also began incorporating non-representational painting into her repertoire in 2020.
