Sara Catena is a vastly talented and entrepreneurial artist who combines a practical study in Art & Design with a natural creative instinct to produce unique and appealing artworks of quality in Oil / Acrylic & Watercolour.

Sara’s unique and joyful artworks have a positive energy reflecting her belief that :“We are so heavily influenced by our visual surrounds, therefore the art we put on our walls should be something that is uplifting , joyous and adds value to our busy and demanding lives”.

Sara’s work shows influences of her study into the early European fauvist movement (so called for the artists’ wild use of colour). Her artwork is also influenced by her extensive travels throughout Europe, Northern Africa, Asia and her life in New Zealand and Australia.

Sara’s inspirational mentors are world renown: Friedensreich Hundertwasser, Mirka Mora, Henri Matisse, Andre Derain, Paul Gauguin, Vincent Van Gogh, Gabriele Munter, Ken Done, Wassily Kandinsky, Kaffe Fassett.

Sara is a very prolific painter, having sold over 850 artworks since 1990, her paintings are hugely popular in galleries & exhibitions, and they attract great interest and many sales yearly. Sara is also renown for creating unique commissioned designs, that are then produced under licensing agreements in children wear , fabrics and homewares, both in Australia and internationally.
