Catherine paints people-doing-people things in settings we can all relate to. Each painting tells a story. Each painting has a unique sense of humour, the "joie de vivre" that brings a smile to everyone’s face. Self-taught, Catherine has painted all her life in hopes of someday being an artist.
Catherine's family ties are who she is. She is Billy Bishop's granddaughter, World War I flying ace, the great-great granddaughter of Timothy Eaton, the department store entrepreneur and
great-great granddaughter of Daniel O'Connor, of Bytown, now the City of Ottawa.
