Artist Statement Hello,
My name is Catherine Hewitt-Van Meel and currently I live in Belgium. I'm a fine art artist having won art awards in Australia.
About two years ago I started to draw in my mobile phone, not having access to a studio. I draw with my fingers which give the drawings a playful quality. They have little messages which are meant to make you laugh and brighten your day. My philosophy is that life was meant to be fun and that we have to follow our heart. In our society we are taught that unless something is difficult and painful it has no merit. This is the opposite from the truth.
While I lived in the desert of Australia, I had the opportunity to contemplate pristine nature and understood that on the contrary, life is meant to be effortless and spontaneous...like the drawings.
I hope you enjoy them. I see them personally more suited for small prints on canvas grouped together.
Blessings to all,
