Wonderful words from wonderful clients

"It's been a privilege to get to know Catherine & her work over the past year. She nails every detail every time."

"My wife and I have purchased several of her pieces and 2 commissions. All of her work is fantastic and even more vibrant in person. She is extremely responsive, candid, and professional. She and her husband are also very sweet people and a pleasure to be around. The whole package!"

"I can't thank you enough for the painting. I love it so very much -- it makes me feel happy and hopeful every time I look at it."

"The paintings are stunning. We can't stop looking at them. They look different in different lighting, sometimes almost like windows."

"My husband and I grew up coming and going the Enid area and we miss those views that you see and paint. We feel fortunate to have come across you with all your talent for capturing our love of Western Oklahoma."

From vast, clear skies to dramatic cloud formations, Catherine Freshley’s paintings transport the viewer to a place that is familiar and comfortable – even ordinary. Her work attempts to capture and showcase the transcendent beauty in our everyday scenes: back roads and fields and the expansive skies above them. Her work is representative but she omits intricate detail, allowing viewers to layer their own memory and meaning onto her paintings.
