Bio
Functional and unapologetically wild, Cath creates bold, one-of-a-kind art that flirts with your space.
Based on the Mornington Peninsula, Cath is an Australian artist creating contemporary mannequin art, sculptural lighting, and statement pieces for modern interiors.
Her practice began with a chance discovery of thirteen discarded mannequins, a moment that sparked an ongoing exploration of repurposing and reinvention. Each piece is rescued, carefully restored, and transformed into functional art that sits at the intersection of sculpture, lighting, and design.
Working across mixed media, often incorporating vibrant paints, sand, shells, textiles, resin, and found materials, Cath creates one-of-a-kind works rich in texture, depth, and personality. Her signature mannequin forms are tactile and expressive, designed not just to be seen, but experienced within a space.
Guided by sustainability and a desire to repurpose with purpose, each work carries a past while becoming something entirely new. These contemporary pieces are created to connect, bringing bold artistic presence to homes, commercial spaces, and interior design projects.
Art that finds you. Each piece is unique.
Caths broader practice spans heavily textured abstract painting and large scale environmentally conscious, lush linen/cotton reusable orb decals with printed images drawn from fragments of her paintings and local photography to create immersive interiors, art you can move over and over.
Her creative direction continues to push boundaries, inviting a more instinctive, playful, and expressive approach to interior spaces and to art within space.

Have An Idea
Anything goes.
Given new life with the creative freedom of colour, texture, painted, sprayed, gilded, layered with sand, seashells, jewels, structure, cement, feathers, stiffened material..
Have an idea, lets here it, head to the Contact page.
I can work with your colour palette and vibe.
Poised in time and presence, my art sparks imagination and emotion.
Versatile enough to move and change up your space and light up a room.
Each carries a past, and its own unique charm. By repurposing and reinventing them, I transform these timeless figures into striking design statements, functional art alive with reinvention and in a new world of digital models and virtual forms, their tactile, three-dimensional presence remains.
A testament to elegance, sustainability, and the enduring beauty of transformation (in each of us).
Each piece is as individual as you and me. Art that finds you, and your wild side.
