Artist, Caty Wooley, explores the relationship between women and the decorative, through murals, works on canvass, and street art, often using symbolic imagery. Her works often include pastel colors, and textile-like pattern, to explore cultural and historical contexts of the decorative, and it’s place in art.

Caty Wooley attended Prat Institute from 2009-2013. During this period she became particularly interested in very large scale acrylic paintings, and the impact of characters depicted as large, or larger, than the human body. The borders of a small painting work like a “keyhole” offering a glimpse of another world. When a painting is six feet wide, the characters and space of the painting seem to relate to the viewers body, and take them into that space.

This line of thought fed directly to her later mural work, expanding the field of the painting wider yet, to draw the viewer into a world of characters, and flat abstract space.
