Hello, I'm Catherine Worsley, an artist from West Yorkshire who finds inspiration in the simple beauty of everyday life. With a soft and whimsical style, I love starting my creative process by doodling in a sketchbook before transitioning to my trusty iPad. Cafes are my creative havens, where I capture the essence of my surroundings. I have a keen eye for lighting, fascinated by how it can evoke emotions, often spending hours outdoors observing how sunlight filters through trees. When not immersed in art, you can find me tending to my allotment, finding peace in growing vegetables, and immersing myself in music that sets the perfect mood for my creations.

Working on recent projects for Igloo Books has been a real highlight for me. Crafting extra cute characters and mastering soft, atmospheric lighting are my specialties, bringing stories to life with a touch of whimsy. Clients appreciate my friendly and flexible approach, making collaboration a joyous journey. With a background in Graphic Design and a knack for bold colors, I infuse my work with a sense of fun while ensuring each character exudes a calming charm. Studying art extensively and holding a HND in Design & Illustration, I approach each project with meticulous care, starting from traditional mediums before transitioning to digital platforms.

Immersed in a world of creativity and imagination, I draw inspiration from beloved artists like Tove Jansson, finding solace in vintage children's books and the wonders of nature. My days are a blend of artistic pursuits and simple joys – from leisurely walks to cozy drawing sessions by the fire. Known for my kindness and unwavering dedication to my craft, I strive to be an artist who makes every project a joy-filled experience. My childhood was filled with hamsters and art supplies, it’s been my dream since I could first hold a crayon to be an artist, so I couldn’t be happier to now be living that dream and creating art that brings people happiness.
