Hello! I’m Katherine Tyson (née Herriman).
My aspiration is at the same time both simple and lofty: to build the ladders which allow daydreamers to keep their heads in the clouds. My acrylic paintings and ink drawings are harvested from an infatuation with colour and a yearning for the pleasantly strange to infuse daily life. Throughout my illustration art I let imaginary creatures run rampant in delightfully improbable situations, inviting the viewer to weave a story.
My art studio is nestled in the frequently foggy hills of the Dandenong Ranges, just to the east of Melbourne, Australia.
Hi Katherine, Love your blog…beautifully put together, gorgeous photos! Happy bohemian travels! : ) C x
I love your story and am so happy that I found you. What a grand adventure! Looking forward to following it! x x
I want to live in a motorhome traveling through Europe! I pulled my kids and took off for 5 months through Europe last year. I miss my vagabond ways….. Julie
Your work is really beautiful…love it
Your artwork is beautiful. Your list of dreams brought me to your site. It is a definite challenge to come up with 100 but such a rewarding exercise. The bohemian life is so exciting and will always be with you. I lived in my van for a spell. It had its challenges but it carried with it a definite sense of freedom.
Thanks Croft! I never did manage to come up with 100. In fact, I’m still not sold on the benefits of doing so. This pretty much sums up my feelings on the matter :) I’m a simple girl, I don’t need that much to make me happy.
Thank you for sharing yourself and your art so boldly. I am inspired and full of joy and relief to find, like you have found, there are other women striving to make a life true to themselves-to create art and live and breathe it. Paint on…

Oh gosh, I am always so incredibly relieved when other artists share when things aren’t going well for them for whatever reason. Which is of course, partly why I share myself. There’s always a part of me though that worries about the image I’m conveying when I’m not always 100% positive about my art-making process; so thank you for the comment, which I can now use as a rebuttal to that inner critic!

Hi Rosa, Google translate sort of mangled your comment but I got the gist of it enough to say ” thank you ” :)
