Painted by Life

Stop waiting. Start making.

Welcome to Painted by Life — where creativity meets wisdom, and simple living becomes an art form.
I'm Cathy. Artist. Coach. Creative thinker. And a woman who has spent 62 years collecting colour, stories, and hard-won wisdom — and I'm just getting started.

This channel is my open studio. Come for the art tutorials, stay for the honest conversations about living a purposeful, cozy, creative life — on your own terms.

Here you'll find:
🎨 Creative Art tutorials —  watercolour, gouache, mixed media, paper, artist books and all things crafty.
✨ Creative mindset & coaching — quieting the inner critic and trusting your instincts
🌿 Simple solo living — my home, my creative practice, my everyday rituals
💬 Wisdom from the long game — what 62 years of living, creating and becoming actually looks like

This is a space for women who are done waiting for permission to live creatively.
Stop waiting. Start making.
