Catherine Moakes

Based in the United Kingdom, Catherine is an illustrator and pattern designer creating playful, characterful and distinctive artwork inspired by nature, animals, birds, botanical forms and poetic art. Her creative process begins with traditional sketching, exploring shapes, ideas and compositions before bringing each design to life digitally. Combining expressive hand-drawn elements with digital brushes, rich textures and layered techniques, she strives to retain the charm and spontaneity of traditional illustration while creating a distinctive contemporary finish.
