#16 Catherine Skowron

June 26, 2020 by TruroHistorical

Cathy Skowron has been an artist and educator on the lower Cape since 1969. Her interest in and love of the natural landscape is reflected in her art as well as all areas of her life. “Skowron’s oil painting . . . provides viewers with originally interpreted Cape Cod themes that transcend the genre. Her landscapes reflect the naturalist in her soul—she knows these dunes and paths intimately and revels in bringing people into her own special places.” Provincetown Banner 1/30/2014.

She has studied art in France and Italy and on Cape Cod with Carol Whorf Westcott, Sal DelDeo, and Elizabeth Pratt.

Catherine has exhibited in a variety of venues in both open and juried shows, and her works are in private collections throughout the U.S., Canada, and Europe. In 2015 Skowron received an award from the Edward Hopper House Art Center in Nyack, NY, for works included in “After Hopper” events sponsored by Addison Gallery.
She is represented by Cortile Gallery, Provincetown www.cortilegallery.com .

HISTORIC TRURO: Landmarks and Legends Self-Guided Tours

A joint project of the Truro Historical Commission and the Truro Historical Society, this guidebook was created to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the landing of the Mayflower in Cape Cod Bay in 1620 and is an update of the 1984 guide that celebrated the 275th anniversary of the founding of Truro.
Click here to download the guidebook: Historic Truro Tours

This program was supported in part by a grant from the Truro Cultural Council, a local agency that is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency. Funding for printing was also provided by the Truro Chamber of Commerce, Truro Part-Time Resident Taxpayers’ Association, and Truro Vineyards of Cape Cod. Chuck Steinman, Editor and Graphic Design, Truro Historical Commission.
