About Kathleen Caddick

Although born in Liverpool, Caddick spent most of her childhood in Buckinghamshire where the beech woods and far reaching views across the Chiltern Hills must have subconsciously implanted her love of trees. She trained at High Wycombe College of Art and graduated with NDD Hons. in Fine Art. She worked as a freelance designer and art teacher while her son was growing up, it wasn’t long until she had her own graphics design studio, during which time she was also an examiner for the City and Guilds London. Caddick started painting full time in 1968 exhibiting mainly in London. By 1976 she began etching, working with the Reich British Art in Germany and CCA Galleries, London.

Since then her work has been widely exhibited and collected in this country as well as in Germany, USA, Canada, the Far East and Australia. She has worked on commissions for the National Trust and the Woodland Trust. Kathleen’s vision of landscape is the subject matter of her work expressing feelings of space, peace and tranquillity through her use of muted colours.
