"I have a huge love for our Australian wildlife and all wildlife around the world.  Through recent years many wildlife are endangered.  With humans getting busier with their every day life I want to remind people through my art that if we do not take care of our wildlife and live in harmony we too will become extinct so I try to paint subtle and powerful stories."
                                                                                              Catherine Barolo 

     Catherine Barolo is a self taught artist living in Melbourne, Australia.  

Catherine has been drawing ever since she was little.  A quiet child who would draw for hours and hours escaping life in the 1970's suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia.

     Her paintings and stories were full of fairies, goblins and all types of animals, flowers and mythical creatures she would make up from her fantasy world she loved and imagined until....life happened!

​

      Fast forward to 2025 and Catherine is happily married with 4 grown children one granddaughter and her dog Coco.  It has only been in the last five years Catherine has found time to concentrate on her art.  Catherine is a self taught artist and has exhibited her work in Melbourne and continues to sell her original paintings, prints and commissioned art through her website.  Catherine either works off her own photos or asks photographers permission to use their photos as reference.  Catherine loves to paint in acrylic and now teaching herself to paint digitally.  Each painting is carefully thought and planned out, subject, colour and composition to tell its unique story all in as much detail as she can.
