Brunswick Art Loop
"Growing" by Catherine Durrett
“Often, visual artists and writers are encouraged to adopt a “signature style”. Then in order to grow and find new and creative expression, they will adopt a new name; as in a writer using a pen name like Stephen King, Pablo Picasso, Agatha Christie, and Banksy.
In this show, I have included some of my favorite artworks from decades ago up to this year. Trying new ideas and styles - all while I try to embrace a playful attitude.”
