Hi! Thank you for visiting my website. I am Katherine and up until the age of 32 I never knew that I could be an artist… My story is a different one!
I left school after my A levels and went into hospitality, an industry that I worked in on and off for 12 years. The reason it was ‘on and off’ was because I had two absolutely amazing boys during this time…they are now my biggest fans. I knew in my heart that there was something else for me and I never gave up looking. This search took me in the direction of direct sales and also spray tanning (I guess this is a form of art!)
In Autumn 2016 I found a book that I had, called ‘How to Draw’, my husband had taken the boys to rugby practice and I had an hour of peace! With a cuppa and a pencil in hand I sat down to do something just for me. Little did I know that the rabbit that I drew actually ended up looking like a rabbit and I was hooked! Lots of practice later and my confidence grew.
I have completed many pet portraits now and In 2018 I launched my first greetings cards, the range has grown from there. I now have a range of beautiful gift and homewares... and there are lots of exciting plans in place going forward.
In 2023…I was fortunate to have Mike and Lesley join me in the business and together with their skills, Katherine Sheard Designs is going from strength to strength.....
Wherever you are in your journey, keep going, keep searching and you might just discover a talent that you never knew you had….
