Born in
Toronto, Canada, Catherine McClung makes her home and studio
in
West Michigan. The area's woods, waters and meadows are the necessary
inspiration for her artwork. To nature lovers and to china lovers,
Catherine McClung's name is a household word. She painted a wide
array
of designs for Lenox China, Inc. During the holiday season thousands
of
china collectors and bird lovers will be displaying and dining
on
dinnerware made famous by this Spring Lake artist. Catherine's
true to
life watercolor renderings grace a popular Lenox china pattern
"Winter
Greetings". |

Catherine's
watercolor paintings of birds in their natural habitat emphasis
the delicate balance of nature. The vibrant colors of flowers
and birds emerge from her paintings, creating a blend of design
and information. Numerous paintings have been released as limited
edition prints. Some of Catherine's projects include migratory
bird posters commissioned by the Department of Natural Resources
of seven states. In 2002, she represented Michigan with an ornament for the White House Christmas
tree, and she also recreated this for HGTV's "White
House Artisans". Perhaps her proudest achievement has been
her selection for the world's most prestigious Birds In Art exhibition
at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum in Wausau, Wisconsin. |
Each day Catherine enjoys
spending time walking with nature, looking for new subjects to
paint. She feels very blessed to to have a career that includes
her two passions, nature and painting.
