Catherine Pape

Catherine Pape is an artist and illustrator from Suffolk who graduated with a First Class Honours from the University for the Creative Arts in Maidstone, now living and working in North Leeds. 

She works in pencils, paints and digital and is inspired by people, plants, maps, patterns and the bits of blue and white pottery found in the soil at the bottom of the garden.

"The nature around me with its fauna and flora is one of my constant inspirations. My print 'Bumblebee Species of Britain', illustrated in watercolour, shows every species of bumblebee found in Britain. I create illustrations, artwork, and prints inspired by nature, stories, and everyday people, finding inspiration both in the busy city and in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales nearby."
