Artist Statement:
I like to feel energy move. I
experience life and aliveness
as energy moving, as feeling
in motion. Much of my visual
art expresses the radiance
(light) of moving energy: the
dynamic tension of potential
fusion or repulsion; the
balance of ground and subject
that requires the viewer’s
participation as movement in
experiencing a work; “real”
space interpenetrating a work
such that the work and its
environment move with, and
through, one another; and etc.


Much of my inspiration is
tactile – the feel of material
in my hands can be the siren
to the next piece or series. I
may also envision a work and
acquire the technique(s)
needed to manifest it how
I’ve seen it.

My artwork is significant on
my path. The visions teach me
of states, the processes teach
me of transformation in the
physical world. My gratitude
for this path is inexpressible
except through the work
itself.

Catherine Foster
Hi R.A.L Thank you for your wonderful comments about my artwork. I love the piece Breath. Is that paint? I work in metal foils. I have finally found the medium that I have searched for over 30+ years. I have a big show starting in March at the Lawrence Gallery in Sheridan OR. The Singing Words of Peace #2 and no. 1 are there. Do you know anything about a Maria Elena Kravetz Gallery? She wants to represent my artwork at SOFA. I sure would like to have more info on her. Thank you, catherine

Catherine, Thanks for prompt response! Above is my primary email for friends and etc. if you'd care to use it. Breath is dyed nylon rope on a ground of natural linen, all bound together with heavy acrylic medium. I have no personal info on that gallery, but you could do an online search and find something. I send you very best wishes for your upcoming show! Best, RAL*
