Born in 1957 and raised in Toronto, Canada, Catherine Gutsche earned her Bachelor of Fine Art degree at York University in 1980. She creates intricate abstracted compositions on paper, wood panels and canvas alluding to forms in nature, ambient sound, and light – driven by a need to engage the mind. Freed from representational limits, but with a thorough technical understanding of media, her interest is in colour, line, rhythm and texture. She worked with acrylic paints for over two decades and, in recent years, has delved into combining oil with cold wax to play with luscious texture.
Regardless of scale, the momentum of her body informs the outcome. She uses a variety of tools in the studio, including brushes, palette knives, skewer sticks, tree branches, and object like metal spikes to gouge the surface she is working on. The unpredictability of her practice shapes the final product in surprising ways.
Her work has been exhibited in Ottawa, Toronto, Texas and France and is held in private collections in Canada, Australia, England, France, and the US. Catherine has been accepted as an artist in residence at Artscape Gibraltar Point (now Gibraltar Point Centre for the Arts), Toronto, Ontario; Pouch Cove Foundation Invitational Artist Residency Program, Newfoundland and was awarded a Denis Diderot Grant to attend the Chateau d’Orquevaux International Artists & Writers Residency in France.
In 2013, four paintings by Catherine were purchased for the permanent collection for the Ottawa Public Library – Carp. In 2025, “The Colour of Conversation” was added to the permanent collection of the Diderot Gallery held by the Chateau d’Orquevaux in France. Catherine Gutsche currently works from her studio in Ottawa, Canada.
