Cathy Hegman (Euro-American, Mississippi), "I am a figurative painter at heart, and I am constantly finding new ways to use the human, as well as animal shape in my work. I form a bond to the figure in my work and often it is an abstracted self portrait of a sort, as they tell a narrative of something that is from my life, that I feel will resonate with others. The figure and the landscape have intrigued me on many levels. I seek to show the connective design the two have on each other."
