Nature Collage Workshop
with Catherine Alexander and Diane Lou
“Monarch and Wanderer” by Catherine Alexander
“Read Before Cutting” by Diane Lou
About Catherine
As a child, Catherine often drew the flora and fauna of Western
Oregon. After studying fine art at the University of Oregon and Portland
State University, she worked for an art dealer in New York for eleven
years before relocating to Florida to direct a gallery and pen art criticism
for the New York Times Syndicate. After devoting six years to illustrating
orchids at the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota, Florida, she
returned to Oregon to renew her connection with Pacific Northwest
ecology. She currently serves as the gallery director at the Bush Barn
Art Center in Salem, teaches at several art centers and botanic gardens
and exhibits her work regionally.
About Diane
A degree in art opened Diane’s eyes to the creative world she now
inhabits. From that time forward, artistic expression has filled her life,
whether it was painting, pottery, herb crafting, package design, jewelry
or assemblage. She has taught workshops at a variety of events and
venues throughout the Northwest and her work has appeared in
Somerset Studio, Cloth/Paper/Scissors, Art in Your Pocket, and more. She
shares a studio in the Oregon Coast Range with her husband and fellow
artist, Nils, and their feline collaborator, Flix the cat.
