I have been one of the Six female artists for King Features’ “Six Chix” since 2000. On Mondays, I create silly drawings about every day life with a twist. I use pen and ink and a tablet and stylus. I also like to paint landscapes around the Rivertowns using watercolors.
Walking is so enjoyable, the slow pace of it, the many colors and many shapes of nature all dancing in the same slow movement. Painting, I try to communicate this peaceful feeling and I hope someone else can enjoy it as much as I do by looking at it.

Her joyful gouache paintings of flowers, random objects, people and occasional meditative abstract musings open a colorful and enticing window onto a detail of the day one might ordinarily overlook. She recently has been exploring abstract […]
I am a Hudson Valley painter of raw landscapes rendered in a moody, earthy, figurative-expressionist style indebted to Courbet, Van Gogh, and Bellows.
Catrin Perih’s paintings are based on the idea of memory. Much of her work is inspired by old family photographs growing up in Wales. The images she creates are mostly figurative, however they include elements of abstraction and ethereal components with more detailed images of shapes or figures, alluding to the fact that memories can be vague or surprisingly clear.
