Lot Report

Provenance:

Collection of Jane & Ken Wright, Cambridge/Toronto
Portia Paperweights, Chicago, IL, 2008

Note:

Cathy was born in Washington, DC and grew up in Falls Church, Virginia. She has her Ph.D in Geology and attended Boston University and Harvard. Touchstone Glass is a family business located in Winona, Minnesota. Her son Colin works alongside her along with husband Steve, a retired academic.

"Throughout my artistic journey, I have retained a fascination for small details, the interplay of light, color, and textures. I depict natural settings in my current work and try to find a way to present each plant or animal in an environment that seems real and yet shows it off in an artistic composition. It is my hope that my paperweights catch the interest of the viewer and entice him into my tiny world to look in ever greater detail."
