About
Catherine is the artist behind the Kitty McCall brand, known for colourful botanical artworks, intricate patterns and expressive plant forms. Her work explores the relationship between colour, structure and nature, creating vibrant compositions that sit somewhere between botanical illustration and decorative design.
Through drawing, painting and digital composition, Catherine develops artworks that celebrate the rhythm and complexity of natural forms. Leaves, flowers and imagined species become the building blocks for richly layered compositions that feel both familiar and fantastical.
Under the Kitty McCall name, these artworks are translated into art prints and textile designs created to bring colour, imagination and personality into interior spaces.
The Studio Practice
Working from her studio, Catherine’s creative process often begins with the observation of plant structures, botanical drawings and natural forms. These references gradually evolve into imagined species and decorative compositions that blend scientific influence with expressive colour.
Many of her artworks are built through layers of drawing and pattern development, creating pieces that reward close viewing and reveal intricate details over time.
Collections such as the Lost Kingdom series explore fictional botanical worlds inspired by historic botanical plates and natural history illustration.
The Lost Kingdom Series
The Lost Kingdom series presents an imagined botanical archive filled with fictional plant species, birds and decorative natural forms. Inspired by historic botanical plates and scientific illustration, the artworks combine observation with imagination.
Each piece explores colour, pattern and composition through richly detailed botanical structures. Leaves, flowers and imagined species are arranged in expressive compositions that feel both natural and slightly otherworldly.
The series has become a central part of Catherine’s work under the Kitty McCall brand.
Textile Design
Alongside her fine art practice, Catherine is also known for her textile design work. Under the Kitty McCall name, her fabrics translate the visual language of botanical illustration into bold decorative surfaces used in interiors, furnishings and fashion.
Her designs are characterised by vibrant colour palettes, layered compositions and intricate pattern structures that bring botanical forms into contemporary design contexts.
Inspiration
Much of Catherine’s work is inspired by botanical illustration, natural history archives and the patterns found within plant structures. The delicate architecture of leaves, flowers and seed forms provides endless inspiration for developing new compositions.
By blending observation with imagination, her work celebrates the beauty of nature while leaving space for playful invention.
Bringing Art Into the Home
Through prints, textiles and original artworks released under the Kitty McCall brand, Catherine’s work aims to bring colour, creativity and botanical beauty into everyday interiors.
Whether displayed as a single statement piece or as part of a gallery wall, the artworks are designed to add energy, curiosity and character to a space.
