🎨 Behind the Brush: Cate McKissick
Inspired by the ever-changing beauty of the natural world, Cate McKissick creates expressive watercolor and pastel paintings that celebrate light, color, and the quiet moments found in the landscape. Whether capturing the glow of autumn leaves or the tranquility of a wooded path, her work invites viewers to slow down and experience the scene through an artist's eyes.
Cate is part of a talented group of 30 artists who are transforming Harford County's landscapes into original works of art during the 12th Annual Harford Plein Air Festival!
Come watch the creative process unfold, meet the artists, and see the finished paintings at the festival exhibition the weekend of September 12-13 at the Bel Air Armory.
