Welcome

Greetings and hello. My name is Catherine, and I am a digital artist and photographer based in Northern Nevada. I strive to tell stories through decorative, historical, and inspirational artwork. My goal is to engage my viewer’s imaginations, getting them to linger a little longer picking out a detail or a story in one of my pieces. Stories, histories, fantasies from childhood, over-the-top cinema, art history, literature, and music with clever lyrics are all my inspirations. Second only to creating art, I am inspired by my travels around the world, and I incorporate much of my original photography in my pieces. In my world, the smallest thing may trigger what I call my overactive imagination. Each piece is ultimately true to the courageous and tenacious woman I strive to be. “Life for me revolves around the joyous, playful, intense, intentional, and relentless creative process.” Recently, I have become excited by the prospect of incorporating AI-generated images from Mid Journey in my own artwork by compositing characters that 'appear' via text-based artificial intelligence prompts. I am sharing those characters with you for your own compositing work using Adobe Photoshop and other software. The characters in this portfolio are available here along with backgrounds, brushes and other elements tied to the theme allowing you to create entire environments to tell your own stories. Many characters are also available individually on Freepik.com. Just search the author profile: caking.
