“Year of the Rabbit” Original Artwork by Isa Catto
Donated by Frasher Pergande
Proudly display this beautiful custom framed watercolor painting by Isa Catto to celebrate the Year of the Rabbit and the 2023 Mahj for Meals.
Isa Catto and Frasher Pergande have been good friends for decades. Their parents had been friends for even longer. Knowing that 2023 was the “Year of the Rabbit,” Frasher commissioned Isa to paint a rabbit for the Mahj for Meals events.
The artist, Isa Catto, has spent the last thirty years working in watercolor, acrylic, and mixed media. Watercolor is Catto’s preferred medium because of how it converts the complexity of color, providing depth and texture to each piece. After she developed an allergy to linseed oil, Catto turned to watercolor – and never looked back. Catto’s conceptual and abstract works on paper push watercolor out of its hobbyist stereotype and into a substantive medium.
“Painting in watercolor forces you to amplify your color expertise — well beyond the basics of your introduction to color theory class in art school. The viscosity of the paint, the flexibility of the hue saturation, and the delicacy of the layers are unparalleled teachers. I travel everywhere with my watercolors and make notes — simple color diaries to remind myself what I saw that day.”
Isa lives outside of Aspen, Colorado, with her husband, the writer and producer Daniel A. Shaw in her award-winning Mojo Gardens with two children and various dogs. She gets into the hills at every opportunity to peer at things.
