Cathy Faughnan - modern impressionist painter
About Cathy Faughnan
I have always been a visual person and studied design, architecture and urban planning at the University of Colorado and worked in this field in New York City. I grew up sewing my own cloths and have always loved creating. I began painting seriously in 2017 and enjoy the challenge of capturing the essence of an object, person, animal or scene. I love color and the life it brings to the painting and strive to transform subjects and bring them to life in a modern impressionistic style. I enjoy letting the paint "do what it wants to" and am always surprised how my vision for the piece translates onto the canvas.
I am the mother of 3 young adults and live with my husband and dog in Lafayette, CO. I strive to be a positive influence in our community and have served on the boards of the WOW! Children's Museum, The Boulder Valley YMCA and the Arts Hub. I am a Member Artist at Particulars Gallery in Lafayette and assist with gallery operations.
