Cathy Haight - Portfolio of Works

Batik has interested me since I began working in the medium more than thirty years ago.  These pieces are created by dyeing cotton fabric; wax is used as a resist during the process and then removed.   

Because Ken and I travel much of the time, painting en plein air is a perfect way for me to create art away from the studio.  My largest pieces are done in the studio, using field studies to remind me of what it looked like before the wind came up or the sun went down.

During the winter months we usually travel to Mexico in our motor home, passing through Arizona and southern California.

These paintings were done on location during our summer trips in 2011 and 2009.  We traveled in our motor home to Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia.
