Cathy Maclennan

Cathy was born in Zimbabwe and spent most of her early childhood outside, exploring and looking at the amazing plants and trees and a whole host of fascinating creatures such as chameleons, millipedes, ants and snakes. The local African children made art quite naturally as a matter of course. Together, they made paints from natural things found in the garden and beyond -  and at the age of six she made her first big artwork – a mural painted on the outside wall of my parent’s very white house. She was thrilled...... they were not!

As a student, she first studied fashion and textile design - then  photography. She has worked in textile design, as a commercial and industrial photographer and in recent years as a mural and trompe l’oeil artist. Commissions include projects in both private houses and commercial buildings. See http://www.ceruleanblue.co.uk.

She works from her studio at the bottom of the garden. From there, she can see birds and bumble bees and watch the seasons alter the plants and trees.
