| Introduction | Catherine makes fine enamelled works inspired and informed by research in myth and folklore. Her love affair with Irish Culture began with an interest in traditional singing, which she still pursues. This blog is an attempt to keep in touch with the many friends, customers and fans that she meets when on the road at exhibitions and gigs. It will contain chronicles of her studies in both music and art, interspersed with musings on the other reading (mostly philosophy and ancient/medieval history) |
