About the artist:

Cathy Folk-Williams Cathy Folk-Williams is an American postwar contemporary artist associated with the Santa Fe–Galisteo, New Mexico art scene. Working primarily with acrylic, collage, and layered materials, her compositions often combine abstract forms with symbolic or figurative elements.
