Katerina is a visual artist and director based on the Surf Coast of Victoria, near Bells Beach— immortalised in the 1990s film Point Break. A proud generalist, she is also the creative director and founder of the award-winning creative and production studio, Catch The Bird.

Her intimate oil paintings and drawings explore the seductive intersection of image, sensuality, and energy with a nod the femme fatal, and delve into the power of womanhood through her unique perspective. Drawing from her extensive experience on both sides of the lens, Katerina's aesthetic is influenced by photography, advertising, social media, fashion, and film. While her art is often viewed as self-referential, it frequently carries an inherent and alluring anonymity. All her works are created freehand and were recently featured on The Block, Channel 9. Shaynna Blaze remarked, “Wow! How sexy is that!” and “Everyone’s talking about THAT artwork!”

Katerina grew up in Tasmania and is a self-taught artist. She was never without a pencil as a child and began collecting and drawing from issues of Black and White Magazine in her teens. This early exposure informed her current aesthetic and passion for figurative realism. After graduating with a 'Plan B' law degree, she pursued acting and was signed under Melissa Rose Management. Inspired by years of collaboration with theatre and film production teams, she founded Catch The Bird in 2008. Since then, she has produced work for global brands, leading agencies, and artists across various media platforms. Katerina was recently honoured to be a judge at the Melbourne Queer Film Festival and has joined the ranks at The Directors Group. Her work has been described as “just awesome!! perfectly done – a lyrical and beautiful thing” by author John Marsden.

In reconnecting with fine art, Katerina produces pieces that tread a fine line between painterly and photorealistic, enjoying the play with the illusion of perfection. Her unguarded work is both modern and nostalgic and extends her personal style. Her original works and fine art prints are sold locally and internationally, and she values her many fine collectors. Joshua Plant of the Susan Blond Group in New York stated, “I love buying Katerina’s art. I can’t get enough of them…Simply Brilliant.”
