Catherine P. O'Neill

Catherine O’Neill began painting over 20 years ago, after taking a beginner watercolor class at the local art center. She has since won numerous awards in local and national art shows, including three best of show awards from the North East Watercolor Society International Exhibition and the High Winds Medal from the American Watercolor Society’s 154th International Exhibition. She paints a wide variety of subject matter using transparent watercolor, but her favorite images often include Adirondack landscapes and scenes of her family life. O’Neill is an exhibiting member of the Buffalo Society of Artists and holds signature membership in many watercolor societies, including the American Watercolor Society and the National Watercolor Society. She has achieved master status in the Transparent Watercolor Society of America. She has had paintings published in many of the Splash: The Best of Watercolor, North Light Books series. She has written a chapter in the book Watercolor Secrets: An Inside Look at the Techniques of Award-Winning Splash Artists, July 2009. Her work is featured on the cover and in an article in the Spring 2010 edition of Watercolor Magazine and the December 2016 issue of Watercolor Artist. O’Neill has participated in juried exhibitions across the country and has had solo exhibitions across New York State.
