FauveArts mission is to bring Oswald's work to the public.

Any explanation, theory or such, other than pursuing our own joy,  that tries to justify what we do and why is ridiculous.

We do what we do here, as in life, for the hell of it.  We are privileged to live free and try to contribute inspiration in everything we do. Catherine's goal is to bring her style of pornographic self expression into the realm of fine art.

We will share our expressions with the widest audience possible while looking for patronage, support, or rejection for this type of brass ring unexplainable life pursuit attempt. 

Catherine Oswald keeps studio space on her 80 + acre ranch bordering the vast Yolla Bolly Wilderness Area in Northern California.

Established in 1995, Artist owned FauveArts has formed caring relationships with art lovers in places such as New York, San Francisco, Aptos, Carmel, London, Los Angeles, Pasadena, Palo Alto, Seattle, Portland, Del Mar, La Jolla, Miami, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, and many others.

The meaning of 'fauve' in French is, literally, wild beast. It was a term of derision used to insult artists like Cézanne and Matisse for their wild use of color and the raw unfinished expression they presented. 

We enjoy terms of derision and insult as well as any and all rejections: shows us we are on the right track.
