Hello, I am Catherine McConnell. An artist based in East Ayrshire, Scotland. I work primarily with acrylic paint and chalk pastel, and I find great joy in capturing the beauty of the natural world. Much of my work focuses on animals, where I strive to bring them to life through my unique artistic style. Creativity has always been a significant part of my life, and this year, I am excited to expand my artistic horizons by exploring landscapes and seascapes. I aim to reflect the breathtaking beauty of my Scottish surroundings in my new works. My art is a reflection of my deep appreciation for nature and my desire to connect viewers with the living world. Each piece I create showcases my skillful technique and emotional depth, inviting audiences to experience the wonder of the subjects I portray. As I continue to evolve as an artist, I look forward to sharing my journey and the new themes and techniques I will explore.
