Encouraged by her artist mother, Catherine cultivated an early interest in art, inspired also by forays into more rural territories in the UK and Europe.

Her rich and varied studies led her to an apprenticeship at the Sterling Studios, London: a specialist decorator’s workshop – where she explored working with materials – from metals to mirrors, glitter to gold leaf.

These experiences, combined with an interest in colour, composition and history and origins of design, have led Cazalet to develop a unique style. While her classical training underpins Cazalet’s creative investigations, she longs for the abstract – and these dialogues are evident in her often vibrant and geometric work.
