✨ Special Guest Speaker: Cathy Read

We’re delighted to welcome Cathy Read, an established contemporary artist based near Milton Keynes. Her work is inspired by urban landscapes and architecture, often capturing the essence and character of places through expressive, abstract techniques.

Cathy has exhibited widely, including with the Society of Women Artists, and her work is held in collections internationally. She has also appeared on Landscape Artist of the Year and has received awards such as the Barbara Tate Memorial Award. Alongside her practice, she runs art classes and actively contributes to the local creative community.

During this session, Cathy will share insights from her artistic journey, her experiences as a professional artist, and valuable guidance for creatives at all stages.
