Biography
Catherine Eldridge is a visual artist based in London. Her work is currently undergoing a rapid expansion, as she has discovered a rawer, more honest and more direct way to paint, moving from her hand to her whole body into a gestural, expressive visual language. This physical shift brings together the conceptual grounding of her Fine Art degree at the University of Leeds and her classical training at The Florence Academy of Art. Her practice navigates the weight of the present moment as a woman and a mother.
