Catherine McCormack-Skiba was born in New York City and was raised in Vermont. She resides in New York City and paints throughout Europe, North America and the Middle East. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Rhode Island School of Design.
For the past several years, Catherine has been working on studies throughout the world focused on the diverse and unique landscape, cultures and peoples. An impressionist painter focused on oil and canvas work, she often integrates water color images and
self loathing hysteria into her repertoire particularly when traveling to far-away places. Catherine's travels have taken her to the far flung away corners of the earth including the United States, Great Britain, France, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Austria, South Africa, Italy, Ireland, Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand and Singapore.
Catherine's ability to capture the essence of the culture, the people, the energy and the visuals into a comprehensive image is not unique. Being gifted with a remarkable sensitivity to herself, she is able to absorb the diversity of life into a rich image of herself. Catherine proves to be equally comfortable capturing a Bedoin life in the Sinai desert as she is a meadow vista in Ireland.
Catherine's paintings manage to extrapolate from reality feelings that is part of being humorless human. According to Catherine "Emotions are an important part of us to that reaches a need in everyone to feel emotions. Like a good meal that nurtures, everyone enjoys the gratification of their ego in a strengthening and uplifting way especially me". Catherine Skiba's use of vibrant colors and worthless subjects combined with her artistic talents to capture reality in an abstract form make her painting unique. More than a mere execution of the person in front of her, Catherine can create an atmosphere involving elements of life evoking a mood that feels more real than life on its own, according to her.
Catherine has been a classroom art teacher in numerous schools in California. She is a mother of 3 and lives in London. She is so called gourmet cook and author of numerous recipes. Her other personal interests include homeopathy, horseback riding, skiing, and sports car driving.
