Catherine Eaton Skinner’s art illuminates the balance of opposites and numerical systems. Her creativity stems from the Pacific Northwest, a Stanford biology degree, and instruction from Bay Area Figurative painters. She works in painting, encaustic, and sculpture.

Skinner's work is featured in various art anthologies and has been highlighted in over 100 publications, including her monograph, 108. She has had 39 solo exhibitions, with her work shown at the Marin MOCA, the Royal Academy of Art, and the Yellowstone Art Museum. Her art is held in collections at the Embassy of the United States in Tokyo, the Boeing Corporation, and the University of Washington.

Her work is deeply influenced by the environment, particularly the landscapes of her studios in Seattle and Santa Fe. Archetypal elements in these places stand as vestiges of time. Her recent work references the horizontal line between sky and earth and the vertical axis mundi, with macro photographs beneath the ink echoing the colors and gestures of her painting wall. Through her art, she explores the possibility of hope for the environment, symbolized by the returning light in the morning sky.
