'Sprofondiamo a valle
e amplifichiamo gli echi
tu sei la mia fame
la mia carne
io
la tua fame
.. la tua carne...'

~ Catherine La Rose ~

'Io e te....
aquile libere
voliamoci e sfioriamo le cime
spacchiamo il cielo
con le scie naviganti
del flusso di passione...'

~ Catherine La Rose ~

'Io e te
incepriati d'Amore
glicini al vento
accarezziamoci l'anima
a suon di Pan
come le stagioni
tra i venti sulle farfalle
accarezzano le danze sui fiori...'

Born in Liverpool 1962 I have always had a passion for painting; I went straight from Quarry Bank Secondary School to study an Art Foundation Course at Liverpool Polytechnic, before successfully applying to study a Fine Arts Degree at Central School of Art and Design in London, graduating in 1984. Central was a great education as it introduced me to more abstract ideas as well as developing figurative skills. Though a difficult process at times, they encouraged experimentation and an expansion of my horizons. The tutors were well established artists who had a wealth of knowledge, skills and opinion. After completing my Degree I continued to work and develop my style as an artist, exhibiting in London, and more recently in galleries throughout the UK.
