About Cat Goward

Cat Goward is an impressionist landscape artist who captures the beauty and power of the mountains that inspire her paintings. From the majestic Himalayas of Nepal to the alpine splendour of the Alps and the raw energy of the Andes, her distinctive impasto style captures the spirit and intensity of the mountains around the world.

Cat has been painting since the age of four, when her beloved grandmother first placed a paintbrush in her hand and encouraged her imagination to rein free. The many formative hours spent in her grandmother’s studio ignited a lifelong passion and devotion to art for Cat. 

Inspired by a transformative trek on Nepal’s Annapurna Circuit in 2022, Cat returned to the studio with renewed creative energy, refining her impressionist mountain style and finding her distinctive artistic voice. Previous expeditions through the Sierra Nevada, the Alps, the High Atlas and the Andes resurfaced in her mind and nurtured the fertile crosspollination of remembered and imagined mountain ranges that now lie at the heart of her highly atmospheric work.

Today, her paintings are instantly recognisable for their expansive skylines and signature impasto textures, a style that captures both the power and tranquillity of the landscapes she so passionately paints. Blending her creative spirit with her passion for adventure and mountaineering, Cat captures the ever-changing moods and majesty of the mountains in ethereal works that bring the feeling of wonder of the outdoors into people’s homes.
