Catherine Sweet, Mixed Media Artist

Catherine Sweet, mixed media artist and founder of BobCat Gallery

I'm a pint-sized visual artist from London who loves animals, horror films, good food, heavy metal and my wonderful husband. I created BobCat Gallery to sell not only my own work, but to showcase beautiful, affordable and original artwork on a small scale, and to give emerging artists a positive selling experience.


A self-taught artist living and working in London, I primarily use acrylic, oils and found materials on canvas. I favour bright colours and plenty of texture, finding most of my inspiration in the natural world and in my favourite music. My latest series of abstracts explore our cultural relationships with colour and emotion.


My practice has adapted in recent years due to deteriorating motor function - I have Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, so difficulty gripping paint brushes has led to more experimentation with palette knives, stencils and spray paints, plus air-drying clay, collage and stitching. Read a feature about me in Estila Magazine to find out more about how BobCat Gallery came about >>

If you have questions about my work, or you are interested in a commission, please get in touch. You can also find me on Bluesky or on Instagram.


I'm a member of the Advisory Group for ArtCan, an organisation devoted to creating opportunities for artists without compromise to their artistic exploration or development. Read my blog for them here. 


I was formerly Chair of the Visual Arts Committee for Arts Richmond, where it was my pleasure to represent visual arts across the Richmond upon Thames.
