About me
I am an artist, predominantly a painter / collage-r who likes to work directly onto walls, sprawling out far and wide. Colour, playfulness and the process of making keep me excited and wanting to create more. I enjoy bringing old works I've made and bits and bobs of leftover and found materials together to create new works, usually on permanent walls where the work itself then becomes temporary in it's existence. As well as making art I love conversation, climbing, and learning about the Flow State. Follow my work on instagram @catmadden

    Hallway Studio 2022Over the last while my practice has become a loop of sorts; a recycling of works previously made; aiming to generate new ideas, new visual configurations, all while using bits and pieces that have already been part of that journey.

  • Border
    BorderAn old etching was needing a revamp, and this bright orangey-red border felt right. Now with the marks from the etching, the marks on the border, and the holes from where it has hung differently on the wall, it is looking like quite an animalistic piece!! - scratched and scraped.

    I have been working independently as an artist since I graduated from Wimbledon College of Art in 2016. I believe art making and creating is about play, about using what is already around us, about the process, about revealing a joy. The works in Rethink are fragments of this thinking.
