Cathy Usatoff

Cathy Usatoff is based in Melbourne, Victoria, has a degree in Fine Art from Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology as well as Teaching and Visual Merchandising qualifications and has been painting landscapes since 2019.

Inspired by the diversity of the landscapes on the Mornington Peninsular in Victoria she paints with rich pallets of bold, vibrant colour the beautiful vistas of the wineries, rural paddocks and Australian coastal bush.

Cathy is a self taught painter in both acrylic and oils. Her painting process is intuitive and spontaneous with colour being paramount to her expression.

Cathy’s interpretation of the landscape lies between observed reality and translating it with the evocative power of colour. Painting from memory, this allows her the freedom to exaggerate colour, space and compositions that evoke an energy and a sense of place rather than recording a specific location.

Her work has gained popularity through local art shows, gallery group shows, retail outlets, art fairs and via Instagram.
