INSTRUCTOR
Tired of trying to remove oil paint from her clothing, Catherine Hearding’s mom gave her her first set of tube watercolors at age 11 and she never looked back. Her 40-year career includes many achievements; most recently, the High Winds Medal from the American Watercolor Society. In the classroom, Catherine believes there is always something of merit in students’ work. She reinforces the good, while making suggestions for improvement for the rest. When not teaching or painting, she loves to garden, golf, hike, and travel.
