Cath Sheard
I live in South Taranaki, New Zealand and have been painting seriously for the last few years. I have an Advanced Diploma of Arts & Creativity (Honours) from The Learning Connexion and am a member of the New Zealand Art Guild. As Librarian for Patea and Waverley LibraryPlus I have a deep love of words; this, coupled with my interest in people and the local surrounds, all inform my work. I work mainly in watercolour and acrylic, and in a variety of styles. Much of my work leans more toward abstraction – particularly of the local landscape from which I draw much of my energy and inspiration. My artwork can be found in galleries and exhibitions throughout New Zealand and in private collections worldwide, but primarily in New Zealand and the United States.
