Catrin Welz Stei<br />
Catrin studied graphic design in Germany and worked as a graphic designer for various agencies.<br />
In her spare time she experimented with mixed media, collages and paintings on canvas<br />
and finally entered the amazing world of digital art. There she also discovered her passion and<br />
love of surrealism. Since then, her drive to create has never let go.<br />
“As a child I loved to draw and liked to be creative. I almost was born with a pencil in my hand.<br />
I knew I wanted to do something related to arts. I have graduated from Graphic Design in<br />
Darmstadt, Germany and then worked for different advertising agencies in Germany, USA and<br />
Switzerland.<br />
I stopped working in agencies after becoming a mother, and after a short time of being self employed<br />
I decided to quit work until my children grew older. Because of my children (4 and 6 years<br />
old) I can go through childhood again and I can enjoy the world of fantasy and fairy tails. I like<br />
to look at childrens books and let them inspire me. „Where the wild things are“, from Maurice<br />
Sendak is a favourite book of all of us. Through the children books I rediscovered the love to illustration<br />
again.<br />
As a professional graphic art designer I often had to make compromises for the clients. There<br />
were a lot of rules in visual communication and I often felt that I could not express my whole<br />
creativity. Now I enjoy creating art that does not explain itself from the beginning. My images<br />
have a dreamlike and surreal quality. They speak from inner feelings which we often hide in our<br />
daily life.”<br />
