How the Longing for Home and Nature Informed Cathleen Clarke’s Newest Works

Cathleen Clarke’s paintings, with their lush, dreamlike scenes, balance figuration and an imaginative and emotive transposition of reality. Rooted in nostalgic reflection, her work revives personal and familial memories, transforming remembered moments into emotive and colorful visions on canvas. Her creative process bridges the inward and outward, blending factual events with the emotions they evoke while filling in gaps through imagination to complete those images with all the emotive and psychological sensations that accompany memory.
