centrifugal & centripetal by CatherineHaverkamp.art in Philadelphia

I am a Philadelphia based portrait/figurative artist. I earned my BFA at Rowan/Studio Incamminati and my MFA at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. My work is recognized in the Art Renewal Center, Portrait Society of America and Fine Art Connoisseur. I teach privately, produce gallery and commission work. I paint in oils, my work is primarily figurative and portrait, although I do occasional still-life and floral. I work for commission as a portrait artist and sell my studio pieces through Rutledge street gallery in South Carolina, through my website and various independent exhibitions. If a client wishes to commission a portrait or still-life they can contact me through email or instagram. My current studio work continues to delve into portraiture but the pieces are not intended to represent just an individual. These portraits capture a human relationship, state of being or emotion that can be relatable to all viewers. My work intends to merge a realistic style of representational painting with the surreal and abstract elements to convey a mood and a compelling image
