Hey there! I’m the artist behind the brand, CatCoq.

Back in 2014, I started uploading my paintings to print-on-demand websites like Society6. The income I earned through this side-hustle paved the way for me to pursue two big dreams: self-employment and travel.

I’ve actually been hopping from country to country and living out of a suitcase for the past seven years! I’ve visited 40+ countries and I host art retreats all around the world.

Along this journey, I discovered that one of my passions is helping other creatives thrive. After all, I’ve learned heaps (mostly through trial and error) since I began living as a full-time artist, so I want to pass on the knowledge I’ve gained and help other creatives who are on a similar path.

In addition to licensing my artwork through brands like Target, Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters, I also have a full curriculum of online classes that teach you everything from creative business skills to project-based art lessons.

I’m a big believer in community over competition, and I’ve put together loads of resources to help you grow & thrive. Onwards & upwards!
