Catherine Lorain was born in France in 1941 and now lives in Quebec, Canada and France. She began her artistic career by creating jewelry and accessories for the theatre.    In 1967, she produced several monumental sculptures for the Pavilion of the Montreal Opera House. Motivated by this experience, she went on to study ceramics and sculpture in an open workshop.

The human body, male or female, fascinates this Canadian artist.  The supple forms and the intentionally exaggerated proportions that she gives to her sculptures are wonderfully thought out and give the work much character.
 
Catherine Lorain's aesthetic values reach for an idealization of form, criteria which she wraps in sensuousness, tenderness, and compassion.    Her male figures expound virility and a solid architecture; her women show as much vigor but their expression is rounder, smoother. Lorain's sculptures breathe a great sensitivity, a love of and obvious pleasure in projecting the human body into an eternal dimension with the patina of time.

Since 1982 her artworks have been displayed in numerous personal and group exhibitions in Canada, the United States, Mexico and Europe. She is a member of the Association of Sculptors of Quebec, of the International Association of Plastic Art of Unison, and of the International Sculpture Center.  Her bronzes are found in many private collections, most notably that of HRH Duke of Edinburgh and Sir Elton John.

Catherine Logan works are on permanent exhibition in Shidoni, Sante-Fe USA
