Artist Catherine Jeltes
On the Canvas and Behind the Camera
I see the world around me through rose colored glasses (because without them, frankly, I can’t see AT ALL.)
I create art with color, heart, and dance. Sometimes it may involve wine.
During my workday, a break might include walking, cycling, baking, gardening, or playtime with my elementary students.
Every flower is its own story. Every stage, every season…from bud to seed is a celebratory moment. My botanical photography zooms in on intimate details…each line, each contour, each shadowed hue. Flowers are nature’s poster child for living in the moment.
I work with acrylics because I do not have the patience to work with oils. Weeks to dry? Really?! In my studio that is a recipe for a super textured mixed media work, or in other words, sharing DNA with our pet menagerie.
PAINTINGS:
Each painting is an original, authentic piece of art created
and signed by me.
- Only professional grade acrylic paints and canvases
are used. - Each painting is finished with a coat of satin varnish to
protect from dust and UV light. - Paintings are professionally packaged when
shipped.
FINE ART PRINTS:
Each print purchased from this website is made from an original image created by me
and printed on professional grade Epson paper through my partnership with a local professional photography lab.
- Only the highest quality archival inks are used.
- Gallery wrap canvas prints are printed on archival inkjet canvas and laminated with a satin finish. The canvas is hand wrapped around a 1.5″ wooden frame with a wire hanger. All gallery wraps arrive ready to display.
