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, 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 plays and dances at recess with friends, or collecting seashells on the shore, self-expression through creativity has always followed me.

It followed me to our first apartment in 2016 with a large white wall waiting for my first canvas painting of three penguins, that eventually led to my art career.

It blossomed into an ocean-obsessed home decor line and beach essentials during the pandemic... and it patiently waited for me during life's difficult moments.

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

Whether it’s the magic of a sunrise, the subtle communication of wildlife, or the feeling that life is more meaningful than we often remember, my work is an invitation to experience that again.

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