A Different Perspective © Cat Evans

I started taking pictures many years ago to keep in the family albums, but always loved taking pictures of just about anything. I got my first film SLR when our daughter was young and it opened another door. Years went by and then came the Digital age. And with that, it resurrected a love for capturing moments, not just pictures.

I love what we have here on the Central Coast and any place I can take my camera…From traveling overseas to Motorsports events and all the land between our great oceans.

I enjoy sharing what I see through my lens or should I say…Thru Catz Eyes.

Jarien de Ham has lived on the Central Coast since 1974 with her husband, Gerald, and has raised two sons here. Her interest in art began as a child, then on to a BA from UCSB, working as an artist from home, followed by classes in Chinese painting and calligraphy at Cuesta College in the early 2000’s. This added to a lifelong interest in Asian culture from martial arts to Zen Buddhism leading, naturally to study at an art academy in Hangzhou, China. It is ever a challenge to master traditional techniques as well as push the boundaries of spontaneity. The climate and locale of the Central Coast continues to inspire and feed the need to express landscapes and forms with an Asian feel.
