Beauty Near and Far: Wisconsin & Jamaica

By Catherine Capellaro

Catherine Capellaro is a writer, painter, and musician living in Madison, Wisconsin. When COVID-19 came, two of her primary channels of expression — writing for a weekly newspaper and performing with VO5 — slammed shut. Not knowing what was coming, Catherine looked inward. Capellaro has made hundreds of paintings, many close to home, and some much farther afield. She is still seeking and striving to capture the light. Sharing these paintings has brought her joy and helped Catherine stay connected to the wonder most felt when in nature.
