Part of the Benches & Views collection, this artwork was inspired by a favourite bench high on Ilkley Moor, close to the iconic Cow and Calf rocks. It’s a place I return to again and again when I need space, perspective and the restorative comfort of nature.
Looking out across the Yorkshire landscape beneath an endless sky, this view reminds me of the power of simply sitting still and allowing the world to feel bigger than whatever I am carrying. The bench becomes a place of pause, reflection and connection - a reminder that sometimes healing begins by looking up.
Created with expressive colour and a sense of openness, this artwork invites you into the beauty of Yorkshire’s wild landscapes and the moments of peace they can offer.
- Acid- and lignin-free and made to last.
- The natural finish enhances vibrancy and depth.
- Textured matte surface that enhances depth without losing clarity.

About the Artist
I'm Catherine, an author, podcaster, psychotherapist and artist who lives on the edge of the moors in Ilkley, Yorkshire, UK.
My artwork is inspired by Mother Nature, as well as my own journey of surviving breast cancer twice and living with ME and chronic illness/pain.
Many are from my benches and views on Ilkley Moor, or ancient local woodlands on my roll and strolls - as well as flowers from my coffee table and wild places I've visited and been in awe of.
They are all small, energy accommodating, mixed media works (oil pastels, acrylics, gouache, watercolour, acrylic pens, collage, my iPad) and using playful techniques - created from my kitchen table or bed.
Art became such a powerful source of healing and hope for me during difficult times - helping me to reconnect with colour, creativity, self-expression, meaning and joy.
Since cancer, I see the world so much more vividly and that sense of awe and wonder is reflected in my bold, abstract and colourful artwork.
I take huge inspiration from the iconic Bradford artist David Hockney, who not only shares the same landscapes, but also inspired me to come back to art - following a Hockney inspired art class a friend gifted me post cancer at the Bowery Gallery/Cafe in Leeds.
Through vibrant wild landscapes, expressive florals and uplifting pieces, I create nature inspired art that brings colour, aliveness and a reminder of lifes beauty into your home and spaces.
I hope that they bring you joy.
P.S I am also open to commissions, please message or email me to explore.
