About the Artist

Cat Pope is a contemporary oil painter madly in love with color relationships, dramatic energy, and confident brushwork. Her childhood in Clearwater, Florida instilled in her a love for the natural landscape and the unique sense of light found along the Gulf Coast. Cat’s work depicts the coastal landscape and its inhabitants using post-impressionist and contemporary realist techniques. Layers of color, bold shapes, and manipulation of surface texture illustrate a fascination with the medium itself and its rapturous capacity for memory.

“I love a grand adventure, and I am continually enchanted by color and its power to translate atmosphere.  My work explores the coastal lifestyle, past and present, with the soul of a simpler, romanticized era. There are so many adventures still waiting to take place.”

Cat currently lives and works from a private studio in charming Fairhope, Alabama. When not in the midst of creating, she enjoys exploring new places, supporting local coffee shops and filling her garden with tropical plants. She is passionate about teaching and encouraging others to chase after inspiration in all of life's pursuits. Her works have been collected throughout the United States, as well as Canada and South Korea.
