Biography
Cathy Twomey graduated from the Crawford College of Art and
Design Cork and has gone on to become an established artist
whose work focuses mainly on private commissions of highly
intimate portraiture. Her recognisable style captures and
presents to us the nostalgia of an era when time appeared to
be more simple, slow, yet punctuated by deeply memorable
events and memories. Cathy's paintings are also historical
documents, thoroughly researched which makes the viewing
experience complete.
Whether Cathy Twomey is working in oil, acrylic or charcoal
her passion for her subject matter along with the skill of
execution reveals an understanding of the relationships that
are all part of the human experience. A quite moment of
reflection, a smile, a lively dancing session, a chance
meeting, all these often unnoticed punctuations in our daily
lives, become moments rich with meaning, revealing the true
character of the subject. Add to this the Still-life and
Landscape work and it shows us the sensitivity of observation
with which Cathy can beguile us.
