My name is Catherine,

I live in the Barossa Valley, South Australia.
My bedroom studio looks out onto a stand of Eucalyptus Trees.
They are a few hundred years old, and very beautiful.
From here, I set to work, designing and making pieces of art.

My shop has evolved from my habit of making gifts for friends and family, and my love of drawing.
I sell online, through Etsy

Inspiration comes from many places…
The colour of a piece of wool or a snippet of fabric
Threads and buttons
A twisted piece of wood and fungi
Memories from childhood fantasy games which I would often find myself in!
An exoskeleton still clinging to a piece of bark
The way my little dog curls up to sleep
Scurrying insects and dry leaves
Old garments and pretty music.

My illustrations for colouring, are detailed, and just the kind of scenes I would have loved to have found myself in as a kid!
All the detail could keep you busy for hours, while engaging in mindfulness.
Print out small or large as many times as you want!

Thank you for visiting my shop
Cate
