Catherine Owens is an Irish artist living and working in New York City. As well as her own solo art practice, Owens is known for her collaborative work with the band U2.
In 2014 Owens launched "Field Prints" a set of prints representing impressions of the vistas found close to her studio in the Blackwater Valley, Co. Waterford, Ireland.
“Having lived in New York City over many years, coming home to Ireland and to her wild open fields is like taking a slow swim in a deep lake, buoyed by fresh air- breathing life into everything. My studio in the Blackwater valley overlooks the wide winding river between Lismore and Fermoy, from the hillside I can survey a majestic landscape tumbling towards infinity. This land keeps me connected to my family, to my upbringing in Dublin and to the memories of long days spent outside roaming through fields near our childhood home. When I am not close to this land I imagine it. I imagine its vistas, its shapes and the hue of its day. I imagine the line where roads, horizon and boundaries meet, merge and fall away. In my mind's eye I see the land in vivid colours, colours that follow me back and forth between the valley and New York. These Vistas washed by the yellowing sun and reflected in pinky blue skies are the fields inside my head..." (Catherine Owens, 2014).
