Artist's Statement

Catherine Dixon's abstractions, both in paintings and in monotypes, reflect her fascination with the mystical and archetypal. As a philosopher, she has long been interested in Aesthetics, Art History, Jungian Psychology, and spirituality. Her early art training was in landscape and still life, but Ms. Dixon is working now strictly with abstraction. She believes it is more challenging intellectually than portraying reality-based imagery. Abstract art also affords the viewer a more active role in the aesthetic experience. Each person brings something unique to their interpretation. Although primarily a painter, Ms. Dixon is an award winning printmaker as well. Her work is in private and corporate collections throughout the US and Europe. She also teaches and lectures on her nurturing approach to creativity and healing on all levels.
