Catherine Eaton Skinner (born 1946) is a multimedia artist with studios in Seattle, Washington and Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Early life and education

Catherine Eaton Skinner was raised in the Pacific Northwest. She received her BA in Biology from Stanford University while simultaneously studying painting with Bay Area Figurative painters Nathan Oliveira and Frank Lobdell. Working 20 years as a biological illustrator, Skinner specialized in the ecological integration of marine invertebrates and algae of the Pacific Coast.[1][2][3][4] Now a multidisciplinary artist in painting, encaustic, photography, printmaking and sculpture, she divides her time between her studios in Seattle and Santa Fe.

Art

Skinner's work is centered on the balance of opposites, as well as methods of numerical systems and patterning used to construct an order to our world. Drawn to marking methods that have been used by peoples and even some animals to indicate presence and construct a deeper relationship to place and nature, she moves from the simplicity of tantric forms to the complexities of grids. Much of her art encompasses repetition and multiplicity. The five elements—earth, fire, water, air, and space—also significantly interrelate in her work.

Bibliography

Skinner's monograph, 108,[5] published by Radius Books of Santa Fe, New Mexico, showcases twelve years of her work in which she pursued a deep investigation of this symbolic sacred number, using repetition in multiple explorations. Her artwork is included in Art of Discovery: Exploring a Northwest Art Collection,[6] as well as the cover art of Others Will Enter the Gates[7] and Speak For the Trees.[8] Unleashed,[9] published by the University of Washington Press in conjunction with the Woodland Park Zoo, portrays her passion for animals and her relationship among them.
