Collection: Catherine Carolan

Catherine is a Brisbane based artist and Illustrator. Although born here in Queensland, Catherine spent several years in London, collecting a BA with Honours in Art and Illustration from Westminster University.

Her preferred medium is acrylic paint so she can build up lots of layers of texture and bright colours. The recurring patterns, lines, colours and shapes she sees in vegetation, water, earth and sky help Catherine to slow down, relax and reconnect with nature.
She often looks for beauty in unexpected places and finds herself getting immersed in the details.

Catherine hopes that although her unconscious mind tries to tame nature and make order out of the chaos, she hopes the viewer can still experience an emotional connection to the finished piece of work.
