The Catcher

The Catcher, another acrylic on canvas, was created when overwhelmed by the crazy pace of her own life. Garst found a visual metaphor for "flying high without a net" while watching the circus drama of Cirque du Soleil. She created The Catcher as a tribute to the drama of that moment and depicted the audience as an abstract mass below the two acrobats. The linked hands are directly above the central triangular point of the audience as if willing your eye to seek out that crucial spot in the image.

Notice the beautiful textures and layered pastel effect
