Hi! Welcome to my little studio where I draw with scissors and make relaxing art process videos.

Catherine Holtzhausen is a collage artist and illustrator whose mixed media works embody a humorous and nurturing approach to the world. Her lively figures celebrate a bountiful existence crafted from hand painted paper and prints.
Her work initially evolved from the off-cuts of other artworks but has since become a mature and vibrant practice incorporating the textures achieved by watercolour painting, oil-based monotype, collagraph printing methods and unified with her scissors and archival glues. Catherine graduated from the Stellenbosch Academy of Design and Photography where she won a Craft Loerie Award in her third year. She then worked briefly as a Graphic Designer before swiftly trading her keyboard in for scissors.
