Welcome to my blog. Since I was a little girl I have drawn and painted, anything and anywhere! All my adult life I have been an artist and teacher and now I hope that you will enjoy sharing my love and my passion.
I would be very happy to talk to you about my work and anything you might like to buy.
All my paintings are for sale, either as originals or as prints. Please contact me at catherineacons@gmail.com
