About Cate Townsend

I am an artist from the North Coast of NSW, utilizing my Graphic Design skills to generate thought processes in Adobe Photoshop. I then translate my designs onto canvas using mixed media, ie acrylic, ink, pastel, gold leaf etc. I also work intuitively with colour straight onto the canvas letting the flow of paint dictate the composition. I can relate to the Bowerbird, as I am drawn to blues and turquoises, collecting my treasures from the artists universe to produce my work.

  • Oh thank you so much Fa. This is so different for me you know. It is gold acrylic, and the turquiose is acrylic too. Some of the branches are done in gold ink.

    wow this is beautiful Cate, it is different for you but you should do “different” as you do it well!

  • Oh Bec it’s crazy putting yourself out there are trying different things you just don’t know how it will be recieved. Lucky this has gone down well, might have to do more different things :)

    How unique and beautiful!!

  • Thanks Jennifer. Would you believe the canvas started life red. Then had bodies on it and finally turned into this strange landscape.
