“Katie is a fabulous teacher! She is all about color and the freedom to see where it takes you. Do not come to “art class” with pre-conceived ideas. Katie will open you mind – really!”  
- Terry

 
“I love the classes and cherish our time together…more than just painting“
- Jeanne

The marine paintings of Kate Cutler are achievements in local scene painting that cannot be ignored. Over the past year I have listened to Kate as she explained that she feels strongly that her work is changing-moving forward and the uncertainty and excitement that affects her about it. It reminds me of something Degas once said, that only when an artist no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.
 
Kate’s recent works celebrate the importance of what is local to the shore, as have many artists who have come before her similarly done. Her paintings link us to the pound boat paintings by Francis I. Bennett during the 1920’s, the clamming scenes of Oscar Julius in the 1940’s and the endangered ships painted by Franklin Briscoe in the 1890’s. When Kate’s paintings show us these frozen moments of activities by the local shore men, we are reminded of the eternal mystery and beauty of the bay and ocean around us.
