Two Ladies of Light
Among the seven contemporary artists featured in the exhibition are Cathey Cadieux and Kim Lordier.
Cathey Cadieux describes her art process as “capturing the sublime.” A member of the Portrait Society of America, a Signature Member of the Pastel Society of America and a Signature Artist Member of the California Art Club, she divides her time between her art studio on her picturesque property in Malibu, and her home in Pebble Beach where she pursues plein air painting in Monterey County and Big Sur.
Kim Lordier’s art examines the patterns of nature, and how light transforms the mood of an environment. Known for utilizing rich color and a tapestry-like effect in her mark making, Kim weaves her spiritual relationship with the outdoors into her work.
She says, “I believe authentic creativity, in all forms, is an intimately human endeavor, a way to relate spiritually with one another, a way to feel connected to the beauty of our world. My art is grounded in life’s passions and joy. Ever grateful for the opportunity to visually express my voice in pure pigment, I dance to the rhythms of nature in pastel.”
