MessageCatherine Hartigan is a fine art photographer known for her captivating water images. She became interested in design and illustration at a young age and was eager to explore all aspects of the arts. While studying Fine Arts in college, she cultivated a new-found passion for photography.

Statement
My work as an artist began with drawing, painting and a love of the ocean. I have always lived near the water and it provides meaningful inspiration for me. When I moved toward photography, I began using the lens to create the same effects I was achieving with paintbrush and pencil. I create realistic and abstract water images that are captivating reflections of what we see when we gaze at the ocean.
