Catherine Anholt’s vibrant illustrations for children’s books are well known to readers in more than 40 languages around the world. But there is another side to this prolific artist. For the first time, we are proud to present the exuberant Fine Art of Catherine Anholt. For prices and information contact Janet Turner: jan@anholt.co.uk |
On her Degree course at Falmouth School of Art, Catherine met her husband, the artist and writer, Laurence Anholt. Together they moved to London and Catherine took a Master’s Degree at the Royal College of Art where she was offered the Rome Scholarship.
Over the next 25 years the Anholts collaborated on nearly 200 highly successful children’s books, which have won numerous awards. They raised three children; Claire and twins, Tom and Maddy and the family settled near Lyme Regis in Dorset.
Throughout this time, Catherine continued to work in her studio on hundreds of large fluid drawings and paintings, which, until now she shared only with family and friends. Her themes were pregnancy, childbirth and a love of family and nature.
Catherine takes an almost childlike pleasure in the exploratory process of creating art. “Ever since I can remember, painting has been a door into my own world.”
More than anything, Catherine’s work is a celebration of colour and the sheer joy of being alive!
All images on this site are unique works of art which are available for sale and worldwide delivery, prices on request.
