Cat Lencke

Born in Sheffield, England / Works in Memphis, Tennessee
BIO
Following her B.A. in Fine Art in Chester, England, Cat pursued an early career working as a portrait photographer in Europe and later, as a Fine Art photographer in Memphis, TN. After many years in this field, she returned to her childhood passion of drawing and painting, specializing in watercolor. Cat works out of her home studio, however collections of her work can be viewed at galleries and venues across her local town. Cat is also committed to giving back and participating in fundraising opportunities both locally and internationally focusing on economy stabilization and wildlife conservation.
Though no longer her primary medium, Cat’s years in photography have led her to create evocative and atmospheric pieces through the use of light in her watercolors, integral to her work. Equally, her process of layering loose watercolor washes and progressively darker, sharper layers mimics the changing focal length you’d expect to see through a camera using a wide aperture lens, in turn producing an almost photorealistic effect. Often, the very process of studying the natural subjects in her work brings a deepened awareness and sense of awe, further inspiring Cat’s love of the great outdoors and the thematic development of her artwork.
