Gretchen Lopez. She worked
professionally as a graphic
designer for 13 years in Los
Angeles before moving to
Prescott Valley, Arizona in 2005.
Viewing Cathy’s landscape
paintings, one can feel her
captivation by the interplay of
brilliant light and warm, rich
and muted tones of the Arizona
landscape. She paints in oil, in
a loose style reminiscent of
impressionism. “My goal is to
capture the mood and the
magic of the landscape rather
than every detail.” Equally
inspired by the spirit and
inherent beauty that emanate
from each and every person,
Cathy also paints the figure,
also with loose and colorful
brush strokes. Cathy is a
member of Mountain Artists
Guild in Prescott, a member of
the Prescott Center for the Arts
Visual Arts Committee, and an
Associate Member of Oil
Painters of America. She also
teaches art to children in
summer art camp programs.
Her paintings can be found in
private collections across the
country. She shows her work in
Mountain Artists Gallery,
Prescott Center for the Arts
Gallery, 'Tis Gallery, and Miller
Valley Art Market, all located in
Prescott, Arizona. Cathy
welcomes painting commissions.
