Caz Dowdall Art

Caz is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Earley. During the day Caz teaches ceramics and mindful art classes in the local community. In her spare time Caz can be found in her art studio painting, in her bedroom creating music or somewhere outside on an adventure. Her most recent work is based on the two places she feels most herself; hiking the mountains and on the dancefloor listening to her favourite electronic music.

Drawing inspiration from the techniques of Bob Ross, she uses a palette knife to layer the textures of the landscape on bold abstract backgrounds. The music she listens to whilst painting informs her abstract mark making, responding to the repetitive beats and sounds of electronic music such as deep house, melodic breakbeats and drum and bass. These abstract marks are echoes of the dancefloor as the lights and sounds cascade through the senses.

Caz finds the process of painting these scenes is synonymous to being in these places as they allow her to embody a deep sense of mindfulness. Those moments when the only thing that matters is right now, an absolute present moment, the only thing that ever really exists at any moment in time.
