Where are you from?
Chichester, West Sussex.
Where do you practice your work?
Arundel, West Sussex, in my garden studio.
Are you self taught or have you completed any training?
A bit of both! I studied Illustration at the Cambridge School of Art 2010 - 2013.
How would you describe your artwork/process?
I work with Scraperboard, a media which mimics printed ways of working such as linocut and etching. It is card coated with a thin layer of chalk, coated with dried black ink. The ink is scraped away to reveal the white. I then scan and colour my images digitally using photoshop and a graphics tablet.
What is your biggest influence/inspiration?
Wildlife and our beautiful countryside surroundings. Influential Artists include William Morris, Thomas Bewick and more contemporary; Anna Pugh, Mark Hearld.
What are you working on at the moment?
I am currently taking part in an instagram takeover from the licensing agency I belong to; Yellow House. I'm showing the process of a new scraper board piece, a New Zealand pigeon in a loquat tree, from start to finish. Follow @yellowhouse_uk on Instagram to see.
Where can people see your work?
I have some originals on display in Cambridge Contemporary Arts and various stockists in the UK ranging from my home town of Arundel to Nottingham, all can be found here: http://catherineroweart.com/Stockists. Prints, cards and originals are also available to buy from my Etsy store
