Cathy Staughton

Cathy Staughton’s distinctive personal style speaks volumes through her clear, quick and direct way of working. Symbolic characters embellished with Staughton’s vivid and idiosyncratic imagination appear time and again, often reflecting a distinct good-bad dichotomy, as well as overtones of humour, pathos and nostalgia.Cathy Staughton has worked in the Arts Project Australia studio since 1989, with four solo shows at the gallery, as well as at MADMusée, Liège, Belgium in 2002. Staughton has also exhibited in numerous group exhibitions including ‘Melbourne Art Fair’, Royal Exhibition Building, Melbourne; ‘Renegades: Outsider Art’, KickArts Contemporary Arts, Cairns; and ‘Exhibition #4’, Museum of Everything, London. Her work is held in the MADMusée’s collection.
