“Barrel Racing Dynamo.”
Acrylic
A young boy and his horse skilfully manoeuvre around a barrel on race day. Heart beating fast and dirt flying past.
The crowd is a diverse mix of spectators - some engrossed and focused, others wandering in distraction at times. My choice to paint it on linen, an imperfect and textured canvas, underscores the idea that life, like the artwork is not about perfection. Instead about the raw and unpolished moments that emerge from the background to form a beautiful, unfinished narrative of shared human experience.

About Catherine Boreham
My subjects may vary, my distinct style and skill remain unwavering. A lot of my artwork could be described as representational realism but also I enjoy combining abstraction and realism together, creating a dynamic interplay that invites viewers to engage with the familiar and the unknown.
Through my paintings, I strive to capture the essence of my subjects, evoking emotion and contemplation.
Nature, with its vibrant colors and intricate forms, is a constant source of inspiration. Birds in their environment, the movement of waves, and the subtleties of human expression are all themes that resonate deeply with me.
