Catherine LaPointe Vollmer is an artist from upstate New York, with a love of traveling to new places. She has increasingly sought out beautiful natural settings as opposed to urban scenes. She works in the style order of Modern Impressionism. Modern impressionists seek to capture the fleeting effects of light through loose and expressive marks. "When you really connect with a landscape, its all about the mood you feel, it's hold on you, and you respond to it emotionally. It's like gazing into the eyes of another person for one intimate moment. I want to inspire those who see my artwork to hold that gaze, instead of quickly glancing away."

Framing tips for pastels:
-Frame behind glass, not acrylic or polystyrene. The static from plastic-type glazing will pull the pastel dust away from the paper.
-Pastels must not touch the glass, or they will smear. Use a mat or framing spacer.
-If matting, put some foam core or a spacer between the painting and the mat. This will prevent pastel dust from falling in front of the mat, discoloring it.
