Catherine Notkin Hayashi

I have discovered my greatest delight in becoming an artist is listening to peoples’ interpretations when they see my paintings.  

I paint abstracts in cold wax and oil and often lean into geometrics.  
As I paint intuitively from dynamic life experiences as a human being and therapist, 
I marvel at the infinite array and nuances in peoples’ lives. 

My primary goal is to evoke the hope there is in life lived from truth and relationship, and I enjoy watching what emerges as I paint.

I paint from themes such as Light in Darkness and Seasons & Transitions using shapes, color and texture symbolically, as well as from intensely felt emotions which frequently land unexpectedly on my paintings. 

All paintings are Cold Wax and Oil on Cradled Birch Panels.
