Hello! I’m Katherine Tyson.
My aspiration is at the same time both simple and lofty: to weave the pleasantly strange in with the day-to-day and invite daydreamers to keep their heads in the clouds. My acrylic paintings and ink drawings are harvested from an infatuation with colour and a yearning for beautiful curiosities to infuse daily life. Throughout my illustrations I let imaginary creatures run rampant in delightfully improbable situations, inviting the viewer to weave a story.
My art studio is nestled in the frequently foggy hills of the Dandenong Ranges, Australia. I’m part of a coven of artists, called “Leaf Studios” – a wisteria ensnared brick-and-mortar shop and studio nestled in sleepy, leafy Kallista, east of Melbourne.
Leaf Studios: 77 Monbulk Rd, Kallista, Victoria, Australia

Hi Katherine, Love your blog…beautifully put together, gorgeous photos! Happy bohemian travels! : ) C x
I love your story and am so happy that I found you. What a grand adventure! Looking forward to following it! x x
I want to live in a motorhome traveling through Europe! I pulled my kids and took off for 5 months through Europe last year. I miss my vagabond ways….. Julie
Your work is really beautiful…love it
Your artwork is beautiful. Your list of dreams brought me to your site. It is a definite challenge to come up with 100 but such a rewarding exercise. The bohemian life is so exciting and will always be with you. I lived in my van for a spell. It had its challenges but it carried with it a definite sense of freedom.
Thanks Croft! I never did manage to come up with 100. In fact, I’m still not sold on the benefits of doing so. This pretty much sums up my feelings on the matter :) I’m a simple girl, I don’t need that much to make me happy.
Thank you for sharing yourself and your art so boldly. I am inspired and full of joy and relief to find, like you have found, there are other women striving to make a life true to themselves-to create art and live and breathe it. Paint on…

Oh gosh, I am always so incredibly relieved when other artists share when things aren’t going well for them for whatever reason. Which is of course, partly why I share myself. There’s always a part of me though that worries about the image I’m conveying when I’m not always 100% positive about my art-making process; so thank you for the comment, which I can now use as a rebuttal to that inner critic!

Hi Rosa, Google translate sort of mangled your comment but I got the gist of it enough to say ” thank you ” :)
