Catherine McIntyre's composite digital female nudes are some of the most beautiful, sophisticated and enigmatic images I have ever seen. The images are seamless and demonstrate that digital imaging, in the hands of an artist, is an art form.

This first book of Catherine McIntyres artwork dispels all doubt people should have about the digital medium being used for the creation of art. She has managed to capture a beauty & elegance that many past masters spent their lives striving for. With the aid of digital technology she has managed to transcend the realms of photography, collage & painting to capture something ephemeral. With the images within this book we are able to get a glimpse into the artists mind, the pictures can be looked at on several levels, plainly for the beauty & aesthetics of them or if you linger a while longer you can sense the emotions running through as an undercurrent to the pieces creation. Some of them convey a feeling of sadness others of joy. They all have an ethereal quality to them, a slice of realism mixed up with imagination to create something surreal a glimpse into the subconscious mind. The intrinsic beauty within each image is something that mere words alone cannot convey. This means that although I can tell you that I found this book something to be cherished, it also means that I cannot come close to describing the images within. Catherine McIntyre is an artist of extraordinary talent whose work I am sure will become acknowledged as some of the finest of it's time. Whether you are looking for a book of beautiful artwork or something for the coffee table I feel that you would not go far wrong with getting this book.
