Cathi Steer(Dip. F.A.P., F.R.S.A.S.A.) Growing up in the South East of South Australia, Cathi spent as much of her childhood as possible drawing and painting the nature that surrounded her.
She graduated from the South Australian School of Art in
1971 and after a period of time when family took priority, she plunged herself
back into her art.
Cathi has exhibited in many art shows and has exhibited
with the R.S.A.S.A and other art organisations of which she has
membership. She has also combined with
other artists to show her work and has had
six solo exhibitions.
Her subjects include landscape, animals, portraiture,
and figure painting and drawing, She
uses varied media including oil paints, watercolour, pastel, ink conte and
pencil. Always happy to try new and different mediums, she is now working with
mixed media on canvas and has recently experimented using oil sticks in the
same way as she uses pastels but on a larger scale.
Overseas travels have also resulted in new subject
matter and have been an inspiration for exhibitions past and future.
Cathi lives in Coromandel Valley, South Australia, where
she spends most of her time working on capturing the images that she loves.

Conservation Statement
"I
am increasingly alarmed at the speed with which many species are being wiped
out at the hands of mankind.
Our
relentless need for resources and land for growing food and housing has chipped
away at natural habitats all over the world.
I applaud the change of role that many zoos are pursuing, from being a mere
curiosity show to becoming arks for protecting and breeding endangered species.
My hope is that there will still be enough habitat left when the time
comes to release these creatures back into the wild.
Education
is the key. When people realize that Man's wellbeing is dependent
on a healthy planet then there is hope."
