Catherine D'Arcy -Saunders is an early-stage artist and practicing psychotherapist exploring the complex interface between anxious thoughts and feelings, using bold, abstract and expressionistic artwork.

Anxiety is described in a series of blue grey paintings using familiar motifs represented by a worry tree, worry chains and the traversing of worry lines. There is a further reflection offered by the artist which interprets the psychological response when anxiety dissipates. This is translated in a series of six black and white paintings entitled 'Uplift' and followed by a luscious finale offered in white and buff titanium which represents the experience of 'Transformation' when we are free from anxious manifestations.

Catherine D'Arcy-Saunders is open to creative collaborations centred around aspects of mental health. Please contact directly to discuss. She is currently working on a new body of work focused on grounding.
