Catherine Brennand sadly died on Monday 1st May 2006, following a four year battle with breast cancer.

In 1992 she was elected as a full member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour, the UK's foremost society for watercolour painters.  From 1996 to the time of her death she worked as a full time artist and during her career completed over 900 paintings, most of which were sold to private collectors.

Such was her reputation that on Thursday 3rd August 2006 Catherine was honoured with an Obituary in The Independent.  For a full transcript of that Obitiuary go to the CV (Resume) page.  

Many of you will be unaware that she was also a talented pianist.  You can hear a recording of one of her songs at: www.dearp.vox.com  together with additional photographs of her work and a blog detailing the Sixteen Days that elapsed from her death to her funeral. 

Ludlow Art Society, for whom Catherine gave a number of talks and demonstrations, has also prepared its own tribute which can be read at: www.ludlowartsociety.org.uk/newsletter-parent.html
