"Drawing and writing helps me to wind down, play, and make sense of things. But mostly, to give shape to feelings, experiences and to the mundane."
Hi, I'm Catarina
One night in the wee hours, I went down a rabbit hole. Down it went, leading me to sign up for Shereen Abdul-Baki "Draw your feelings" project. One weekly prompt, one drawing a day, five consecutive days.
What began as messy sketches on a e-ink device sorely inept at artistic creations, turned into an opening to a little cave of surprises.

Drawing, writing, and enacting short stories were core parts of my life that stopped in the mid nighties. After over three decades, here we are again, only in a different, curious place where everything is a combination of new with the already familiar.
​
I draw and write for fun and have no formal training. I share for the simple purpose of giving expression to what I enjoy and hope that joy helps to bring a speck of colour to your day.

If you also have dawdles and doodles, I would love to see them. Feel free to share them with me.
The actual 'muse' behind the work
