WHAT DO I DO?

.I have been enameling, 
in Celtic designs, for 25 years. My love affair with Irish culture began with an interest in traditional music, which I still pursue.

It is my belief that art, 
like music,
can build cultural community rather than foster elitism. 

I work with a grammar of ornament that comes from the past, especially the 'barbarian' cultures of ancient Europe, 
but my goal is to speak 
to the present.

"Imago Corvi" is Latin for "the sign of the crow" and refers not only to the special place of crows and ravens in folklore, but also to my name 
(which is Catherine Crowe)

You will find STORIES - based on my research in Irish mythology, folklore, music and archaeology

You will find IDEAS about what the stories mean - and how my work fits into a larger context of meaning.

You will find ARTWORKS for sale that make the stories come alive! They are made of enamel - in an age old technique called champlevé - which is my speciallity.
