TRADITIONAL CARICATURIST
Cat is a Toronto Caricature artist. Born with a pencil in hand, Cat discovered her passion for drawing at a young age and pursued it through formal education, graduating with a degree in Visual Arts from York University. She has shared her expertise and fostered creativity in others as an art teacher.
In 2018, she delved into the captivating world of caricature, establishing herself in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Known for her ability to capture personalities with humor and precision, Cat is equally adept at creating on-the-spot caricatures as she is at producing detailed commissioned pieces. Cat has sold both watercolor and digital prints at various anime conventions.
Beyond her artistic pursuits, Cat is a polyglot with a profound passion for language learning and speaks English, Cantonese, Japanese, and Spanish. Her artistic journey continues to evolve as she explores new techniques and styles, always striving to push the boundaries of her creativity. Cat remains dedicated to her craft, serving clients throughout the GTA and beyond, always eager to travel in pursuit of new artistic adventures.
