About the Artist
Cathy Cramer WSO
Welcome! I paint natural scenes and pastoral landscapes, expressing their light, distance and mood. My hope is to share with you the intense feeling of a moment in time, whether the restless rustling of the wind and weather, or a sense of peace and serenity in nature.
I am a signature member of the Watercolor Society of Oregon. I’m also a member of the Northwest Watercolor Society, the Western Federation of Watercolor Societies, the National Watercolor Society, the American Watercolor Society, and Oregon Society of Artists.
