Artisan: Cathy Owen
Cathy has been painting 30 yrs with her chosen medium of Water Colours; among her
other endeavours she designs mosaic stain glass, jewellery, fabric art and more.
Growing up around artistic people she began with pencil sketching then tried oil painting
and found she preferred watercolours after taking night courses as she was in the
medical profession for 25 yrs as a Registered Nurse during the day. Cathy is mostly
self-taught and has also attended the Ottawa School of Art to obtain a better
understanding of the craft. She also teaches, mostly adults, and has some students
returning regularly over the past 20 yrs. The majority of her work is purchased by
tourists with some going to Perth and Kingston and also internationally. Even though
Cathy and her husband are only seasonal residents in North Frontenac, this is where
her studio and gift shop are located because of the tourism aspect. This type of
business can be profitable if you have a location that is visible and not reliant on social
media platforms to bring in clients. Cathy feels that North Frontenac Township’s positive
support of the annual Studio Tour has had a positive impact on the local arts scene.
This was my first visit to Cathy’s studio and was overwhelmed by her diverse talents. If
you get a chance to visit, by appointment or by chance, do so you will not regret it.
