ABOUT

Catherine Arcolio Our loud world moves faster and faster, making more and more simultaneous demands on our attention. I create images that transport the viewer into the peacefulness and comforting complexities of nature. My images are invitations for viewers to linger in the renewal, nourishment and wonder of the natural world through sweeping landscapes, intimate spaces, natural abstractions and inquisitive points of view.

I have spent years developing a daily photography practice. My intentional focus on being present to the process without demand or expectation of a specific outcome has opened the doors of inspiration and honed my vision and skills. Depending on my abilities on any given day I either chase or dance with the light. If I am in step, I do not need to even see the image in my viewfinder; I will feel it when I have captured it. My work as a landscaper immerses me in the details and vistas of nature; keeping me in close connection with the subtilties of the seasons and change.

My photographs are never staged; part of their special magic is that they are found. Discovery and abundance are part of the experience I want to share with the viewer. Spirit, rather than people, inhabit my work. I seek that golden proportion of space and light that allows spirit to be perceived. I strive for images that expand the possibilities of meaning-making by encouraging multiple entry points and perspectives.

Welcome! I hope you enjoy looking around.
