Hello, I'm Catherine
I've always loved art, history, people and stories, and I love museums and galleries because they bring all of those things together in one happy bundle.
I want to share that love with others, so I set up I Picture This to bring art to people who would find it hard to visit museums and galleries. I work with community groups, in care settings and memory cafes, and have a keen interest in arts and dementia.
I help people to look at art closely; to ask questions, form ideas, and enjoy exploring. In art there are no wrong answers, just opportunities for conversation and connection.
Previously, I managed the team that set up and ran the Community and Access Programme at the Wallace Collection, where I worked with many different people from children to adults, galleries to hospital wards, and playgroups to prisons.

Everyone should be able to enjoy looking at art. I Picture This uses art to bring people together through small group discussion sessions and resource packs for people to look through in their own homes.

Exploring art is something that anyone can do. We look at art for the enjoyment of it and for the shared experience. Like it, hate it, confused by it, amused by it? All responses are welcome.
