Catherine Chesters, originally from the North East of England, draws inspiration from the contrasts between post-industrial Britain and the tranquil beauty of the countryside. Her art explores the tension between nature and human experience, using mixed media and a surreal, optimistic style. With a career spanning art and design, Catherine has collaborated with notable figures in film and photography, crafted motion graphics, and art-directed campaigns for top brands. 

She also exhibits her personal work internationally, with collectors from London to New York. Now based in Barryville, New York, Catherine runs Chesters Studio, a creative hub for workshops, community events, and exhibitions embodying her lifelong exploration of creativity and connection.
