CATHRIN SCHOFIELD
Cathrin had an extensive career as an art teacher before changing her visual environment by completing an MA at University of Ulster which included a term at The National Academy of Art in HangZhou China. The experience has given her a love of all things Chinese. Cathrin says “when I first went to China, I knew virtually nothing of the country the people and their culture, Westerners were unusual in many places and I knew no Chinese It was a challenge and a tremendous culture shock “ Later she had the opportunity to travel extensively around the country and the effect on her work was immediate. Cathrin has since gone back to China five times and is a strong advocate in encouraging other artists to explore the rich and varied culture. She is currently planning her next trip.
