Catherine Lily Mearns

As a multidisciplinary artist navigating young adulthood, I explore the complexities of identity and fragility through the lens of personal experience. My work reflects the vibrant resilience of the human spirit alongside its underlying vulnerability.

Through my art, I seek to illuminate the beauty in the ordinary, challenging viewers to contemplate the fragility of existence and the urgent need for connection.
