I absolutely love your artwork. I can tell you’re an animal person, which makes you aces in my book! Keep up the great work….you have an exceptional talent.

I’m so happy you’re here and that I stumbled upon your work on IG. With love from a fellow extroverted introvert and the scruffy Huckleberry Edward’s human!

OMGosh! I LOVE your work. I know this is really immature and middle school-ish, but I would love to work with you on a book I have written.

Hi Maryann, I'm so happy you love my work. Thank you. I'm afraid I only work on texts submitted by my publisher. I'm so sorry. But I wish you all the best with your book. C x

Hi Catherine, I absolutely love your art and enjoyed this article. I love your panda bear, rabbits and dogs in particular, and am excited to follow your work here. My husband and I enjoy creativity and art, so I will probably look into your paid subscription later this year as a possibility (if it would help us learn more how to paint such wonderful creatures). Thanks for brightening our day so often. I had sent you a picture earlier of my Aussie Mt Doodle, JaiYou. I could practice trying to paint or draw his cute self!!

Catherine, I absolutely Love your animal characters. They all have a delightful quality to them that is so endearing. I hope you are writing and illustrating children’s books as I know they would absolutely be enchanted by them.

Blessings,

Cleo

I love your artwork. Do you ship to the US or are you planning to in the future? From a fellow ambivert (a shorter word if you get tired of introverted extrovert or extroverted introvert! 😄)

Thank you Catherine.. this is my first time seeing your work (that I’m aware of )I was drawn to your work right away, BTW! I love animals. I never realized until someone stated it, that I always buy greeting cards with animals. 😉Grew up with many animals, and literally had a cat in my crib with me..Dogs I didn’t know until I was older.. but I can’t be without them now💜… I want to share your drawings with my nieces and nephew. 🩵

Ps I believe I’m the inverse(?) .. I’m an extroverted introvert.. ( I think)
