Catherine & Rebecca Perehudoff
March 13th to April 20th, 2025

Main and Lower Level Gallery Hall

Catherine Perehudoff Fowler is a Canadian landscape painter inspired by the expanse of the Western prairie, the natural splendor of the wilderness, mountains, and lakes, and the romance of the Atlantic seashore. She is a renowned landscape painter who has exhibited in art galleries, art museums, and art fairs across Canada and internationally in London, England; Voss, Norway; Paris, France; various cities in Italy; and the USA.

For Rebecca Perehudoff preservation of nature and the environment is critical. At times she feels she is recording what may shortly disappear - a tree, a field, an undeveloped shoreline. She was born and educated in Canada, spending a couple of years in Europe before moving to Chicago. While there her focus drifted from forest and rural areas to include more urban elements. Her work draws from different sources including renaissance composition, expressionistic brush stroke and the spiritual curiosity of the post-impressionists. Her works introduce an element of the unknown, whether through an anthropomorphic quality in plant imagery or through the introduction of random human made elements such as signs or chairs. The space is ambiguous, condensing the biological elements into one plane, creating a patterning.
