A LITTLE BIT more ABOUT ME
I’m a multi-faceted artist and illustrator, originally from Berkshire, England, currently based in County Galway, Ireland. As a child, I loved doodling caricatures and sketching portraits, and soon moved on to oil paints. I have been receiving portrait commissions since the age of twelve, and my work can be seen in the USA, Australia and the UK, as well as here in Ireland.
I studied Art & Design in East Berkshire College, which allowed me to dabble in various forms of art and media, including Fashion Illustration, and of course I loved them all! Even today I couldn't choose one to focus on over the others. I enjoy working in oils, pencil, watercolour, ink, charcoal, photography, clay and various mixed media.
I am a versatile Designer, having graduated with a BA in Design Communications and a BA (Hons) in Digital Media from Athlone Institute of Technology. I’m proficient in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, I’m also experienced in Premiere Pro and After Effects.
Background
I love working in various styles and, in particular, blending and contrasting the contemporary with the traditional. I enjoy creating both pretty, whimsical illustrations and edgy, energetic designs. You can see my alternative styles of work on my original website: www.catflynnstudio.com
My Style
Weddings
I spent time freelancing for a boutique wedding stationery company in Dublin, and gradually over the years found myself creating more and more wedding artworks - bespoke Dress and Venue Illustrations, Invitation Suites, On-the-Day stationery, Portraits and Personalised Gift Illustrations. It felt time to create a space just for my wedding work, and progressing into the world of Live Wedding Illustration felt like a natural step.
I love fashion illustration and weddings, and I love being a part of them. I’m grateful for the privilege of being part of couples’ most meaningful moments—capturing their reactions as they see the illustration come to life, This ability to touch people emotionally through art has been one of the most inspiring aspects of my journey..I’m excited to continue expanding my reach, experimenting with new techniques, and finding innovative ways to bring the joy of wedding day moments to life
Thanks for taking an interest in my work, Cat 🤍
