So Can I
Catherine Cartie on Becoming An Artist + Not Being Too Hard On Yourself
Today I am joined by Catherine Cartie! Catherine is a watercolor artist, illustrator, and calligrapher based in Fort Worth, Texas. She specializes in licensing custom artwork and watercolor patterns to clothing companies, wedding stationers, interior designers, and other brands across the country. Catherine also loves creating for her online product shop, which consists of original paintings and art prints, silk scarves, notecards, gift wrap, playing cards, and an annual Christmas Card and acrylic ornament collection.
She is probably most known for her butterflies. A few years ago, Catherine created a series of watercolor butterfly paintings that resonated with her audience in such a beautiful and unexpected way. To be able to connect with people through sharing their stories of butterflies really made Catherine understand the power that art has to bring everyone together. Those butterflies took on a life of their own and have become a central part of Catherine's brand.
When she is not painting or dreaming of new products or pattern ideas, you can find Catherine on the tennis court, at some kind of kid’s sporting event, or at her favorite local coffee shop with her friends, and 3 beautifully crazy children, Jack, Elliot, and Maes.
