Join us for our special July 2020 meeting with Oil Painter

CATHERINE FASCIATO

July 12th, 2020

Sunday Afternoon Meeting at 2:00 pm

Alamo Women’s Club, 1401 Danville Blvd., Alamo, CA

Catherine Fasciato was born in Hong Kong while it was still a British Colony and lived there until she was nine when she moved to England, the rugged Yorkshire countryside with its bleak weather and wild moorlands.  There she developed her love of drawing animals, mostly horses whilst on long walks in the country.  She returned to Hong Kong for four years and then came to California, making it her home in 1976.

Her love of the ocean stems from her childhood living in Hong Kong and swimming in the sea as well as long journeys aboard ocean liners with nothing but the sea and sky to look at as her parents loved to travel and her mother preferred going by sea rather than by air. Today she can often be found painting the California coast at Pacifica, Carmel and Mendocino.

She is a signature member of American Impressionist Society, California Plein Air Painters and Monterey Bay Plein Air Painters, associate member of Oil Painters of America and the California Art Club.

Her works have been described as dramatic and capturing the mood or essence of whatever subject she paints, be it landscape, seascape, skyscape, portrait or still life.  She loves to capture the spirit of the elements.
