Artist Statement:
Making art brings me great
joy, and I believe each canvas
is like a brief moment in an
untold story.
My collage art is inspired by
vintage images found in old
magazines, catalogs and books.
I am fascinated by these
forgotten treasures and the
people who left them on
shelves and in boxes in
basements and attics for me to
rediscover. By the time I
find them the paper is
yellowed and faded, mice have
chewed the corners and insects
and moths have made their
holes. But these images are
precious to me. I imagine the
time when they were brand new
and the dreams they inspired -
of beautiful fashions or
traveling to far away places.
They are as fresh and brimming

collage I am conscious that
the final result will be
whimsical, often surreal,
while remaining visually

| Your Personal Biography |
Cathy Horner’s collage art is inspired by her 100 year old farm house in Johnson City, TN. Cathy was born and raised in Maryland with her seven brothers and sisters. At an early age, she discovered that she loved to create. Whether from playing the old piano in the basement, or making doll clothes from scraps, this young girl’s passion for art led to decades of exploring her talents. Over the years, she received international recognition of her original solo guitar arrangements. By age forty-eight, she found her muse in collage art that quickly found its way into art galleries and collectors’ homes. Coupled with her appreciation for antiques and vintage things, her art is carefully crafted from her collection of images from old magazines, newspapers and catalogs. Seeing Horner’s art is a true reflection of her personality, full of whimsy, humor and her love of nature combined with her dedication to detail and creating fine art |
