Cathey Young

Having been born and raised in Blackfoot, Idaho, I was mesmerized by the Snake River as a child and played happily in the river bottoms.  Riding horses, exploring the river islands and swimming in the shallow ponds consumed most of my summers.

 Now the Arkansas River proves to be reminiscent and a wonderful inspiration for my art work.  I’m fascinated by the light playing off the water, shadows and reflections creating their own watery world. I hope to share my river love with others through my paintings.  

My art education has been gained through college courses (minored in art at the University of Puget Sound), a scattering of great community based classes, attendance at the Intense Studies Seminar in Taos, and through the wonderful artist friends who have graced my life.
