Catie-O’Shannessy

Catie’s style as an artist is very illustrative. She loves to play with line & colour. A lot of her art depicts people. This interest started with realistic portraiture and then expanded to a love of life drawing. Now, She finds herself exploring her own inner life through the human figure.

Catie is also the founder of ScribbleSesh Life Drawing in Toowoomba, QLD. ScribbleSesh is a costumed life drawing session held monthly at Mouse Proof Brewery. On the first Sunday of every month, artists gather over some locally brewed beers to draw our amazing costumed muses. It’s super fun & relaxed and a great way to make artist friends!
