Catherine has always been an artist, a night owl and a traveller. After Art & Design studies at MacEwan University, her desire for travel and her passion for drawing faces took her wandering around the world as a street artist...from a campground cabin in Tofino to a Niagara Falls street corner, from a Kibbutz in Israel to the Bay of Islands in New Zealand, and from hostels in London and Prague to the Harbour side market in Brisbane, Australia. Catherine’s extensive experience as an international cartoon portrait artist eventually led to many exciting illustration projects and opportunities such as illustrating the award winning website WildFiles.TV Interactive (winning Gold at the International World Media Festival, Hamburg, Germany), doing illustrations for the CD series Zoology Zone (winning Best Interactive CD, Wildscreen Film Festival, Bristol, UK) as well as her being cast as a courtroom artist in the movie Small Sacrifices with Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O’Neal.
