Hi I'm Katherine,

I love creating joyful Tropical Wildlife Art. I'm based in Ontario, Canada, though my roots stretch back to the Pacific coast of Lima, Peru, where I spent part of my childhood surrounded by the ocean.

Growing up near the sea, and playing in nature became the place where I felt most alive, free, and at peace. Creativity became the language through which I most easily expressed those feelings.

Whether that was designing a doll house out of cardboard and some paint, putting on a Spice Girls dance performance with three friends during recess, or collecting seashells on the shore; self-expression through creativity has always followed me.

It followed me to the first place I moved into as an adult. In 2016, after two years in our apartment, I noticed there was a big white wall waiting for colour. One weekend, I bought my first art supplies and painted three penguins on a 30 x 40 inch canvas. An animal that, without knowing it yet, would lead me to career focused on Self-Expression.

In 2018, creativity blossomed into an ocean-obsessed home decor line followed by beach essentials during the pandemic. Creativity did what it does best: wait patiently until you're ready to notice it.

With time and patience, I began to see how creativity transmutes pain and turns it into something that invites deeper connection. Love.

Whether it’s the glow of a sunrise on your face, the smell of the fresh ocean air in the morning, or the symphony of sounds and colours in the rainforest, every piece is an invitation to come hang out in the present.

To pause, exhale, and reconnect with the beauty, freedom, and aliveness that nature reflects back to us.
