A Convergence of Color: Woodcuts of Cathie Crawford

The exhibition dates are April 18- May 25, 2024

The opening reception will be held on Thursday, April 18, 2024 from 6-8pm.

“My recent woodcuts are a converging of color, line, shape, and texture in an ambiguous space with whispers of landscape. I have been thinking a lot about Climate Change and our responsibility to the life of our planet the past few years. I feel Mother Earth is getting even, with this pandemic, for all of humanities abuses. These woodcuts are a celebration of the life of our beautiful planet which deserves our awe and respect.”

Originally from New York City, Cathie lived overseas six years in Saudi Arabia and France. She returned to Peoria in 2004 from Grenoble, France. She has concentrated on the color reduction woodcut since earning an MFA degree in 1987 from Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois where she had a one-person retrospective in December of 2016.

Crawford’s prints are included in private and corporate collections in eight countries including the Print Center New York in New York City; The American University Museum in Washington DC; The Safeya Binzagr Darat in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia; the Newark Public Library, Newark, New Jersey; Casa de las Americas, Havana, Cuba and the Peoria Riverfront Museum in Peoria, Illinois.
