Interview with Catherine Skinner

We couldn't have been happier when Catherine's work appeared here, it was the one thing we'd been waiting for to pull 'Frogs' together in just the symbiotic kind way we love to do things here. 
Catherine has lived in the Northwest most of her life, a graduate of Stanford University, who has always been drawn to the arts. 
To keep up with Catherine you can skip on over to her website or her facebook site. Twitter and Pinterest can also help you get your daily dose. And of course, the best thing to do is follow NUNUM and enjoy the future treats from Catherine that we are dying to share with you all.

Using a wide array of gestures – from delicate tracery to incising with a stick, there are single strokes of large antique sumi-brushes to finger marks dragging paints across the surface. Each piece becomes its own offering to the basic elements of our natural systems, a modern mandala with new possibilities.
