Class Content: Loose, But Not Lost is a one-day, paint-forward workshop for artists who want their work to feel freer and more expressive—without falling apart.

Many painters crave looseness but fear losing control. In this workshop, we’ll explore how to paint boldly while maintaining clarity, structure, and intention. Through short demonstrations and extended studio time, you’ll learn how to simplify, edit, and make strong compositional decisions while painting loosely.

This is not about copying a style or following formulas. I’m not teaching you how to paint like me—I’m helping you paint like you, with confidence and freedom that still feels grounded.

Expect a relaxed, encouraging environment, clear guidance, and plenty of time at the easel. You’ll leave with work that feels expressive yet resolved—and a better understanding of how to balance freedom and structure in your own painting practice.

All levels welcome.

Biography: Catron Wallace is a Nashville-based abstract painter whose work blends intuition, movement, and color into compositions that feel both organic and architectural. With over 30 years of professional practice, Wallace has developed a refined visual language rooted in rhythm, emotion, and the quiet power of simplicity.

Her paintings are known for their dynamic layers, luminous palettes, and the sense of grounded energy they bring to contemporary interiors. Each piece is built through a process of physical engagement — gestures, markings, and subtle shifts that echo the landscapes, seasons, and internal worlds she moves through.

Throughout her career, Wallace has exhibited across the Southeast and has placed work in private collections, designer-curated homes, and boutique gallery spaces. She maintains a steady studio practice and continues to evolve her work with a deep respect for craft and a commitment to authenticity.

Driven by a lifelong dedication to creativity, Wallace approaches each canvas as an invitation — to pause, breathe, and experience a moment of clarity. Her work resonates with collectors seeking art that is both visually striking and emotionally grounding.
