I work from my home studio & office busying myself between my own business + freelance work. I manage my own little art + illustration online ETSY shop called Kate Mason Artist where I primarily offer original art, illustrated prints, greeting cards, stationery & fabric items.  I've also spent over 15 years part-time doing corporate logo & stationery graphics work for our family printing company.

 

On the home front, I'm mother to 5 gorgeous young humans & married to Jeff. I live in a cute white house in the middle of suburbia, minutes from both our beautiful little city of Adelaide [South Australia] & our lovely western beaches. Whenever I can grab some free time I love to travel, move furniture & re-organise my home, make books, dabble in photography & sew.  Sometimes I even sell my original stitched cushions & wall art made with recycled fabrics, stitched illustrations & freestyle messy stitched lettering.

​

I look forward to having a chat to see how we might work together!​

 

Thanks so much for visiting!
