Catrin O’Hara is a digital artist whose work reveals the quiet power of nature to heal and transform. Born from her own journey through chronic illness, her art bridges the internal and external—inviting viewers to explore the deep connection between emotional resilience and the natural world. Through still and moving images, she explores illness as a path to growth, offering a space where beauty and struggle coexist. For O’Hara, art is not just creative expression—it’s restoration, a way to reconnect with the world and rediscover strength.

Digital art and microfilms tracing the quiet path to healing—inviting you to pause, reflect, and reconnect.

Very excited to be getting certification ready for two shows! All set now for adding date if they find a home that loves them while on their travels. ‘Heads in Bark’ is a new piece going up to @badgerinthewall_gallery for ‘An Abstract Adventure’ 5 June to 5 July. And my favourite Magnolias (‘Apuldram Magnolia’, 1/10 and ‘Sidlesham Magnolia’ 2/10 both 2023) from a going to Stowmarket for ‘Light and Shadow’ in @foxyardstudio, 30th May to 10th June. #artforgrowth #healingart #handdrawndigitalart #fineartprints #limitededitionfineartprints #artseries #collectingart
Very excited to be showing this new piece soon in ‘An Abstract Adventure’ in the Badger in the Wall Gallery! This is one of four in a series I made when I was ill and everything seemed other worldly - the everyday would look unreal and the unreal real. I saw kissing or whispering heads in a medallion of damaged bark on a tree - still there! I later transformed them into this abstract series in different takes on my favourite lilacs and blues. In the process of getting a gallery canvas of this 1/5 limited edition made by the lovely team at @art4site now! @badgerinthewall_gallery #artforgrowth #fineartprints #limitededitionfineartprints #artseries #collectingartwork #abstractartworks

So nice to welcome home safely from exhibition with @foxyardstudio two of my ‘Two Petunias’ series. Massive thanks to @artmagnitude for such amazing professional care and curation. Hope they will find a place in someone’s heart and home one day, but part of me also happy to have them back 🤔- makes sense to me 🤗. The hung pictures are some of my late mother’s watercolours - where my love of flowers all began. #artseries #limitededitionprint #digitalartwork #flowerpicture #collectingart

#mindfulmondays - float and dream for a moment watching part of ‘Life in a Leaf’ my work in progress #fractalanimation. Imagining that life force flowing in my lovely #cavendishbanana leaf. Soundtrack by @guustavv_ so perfect 👌 and thanks to the excellent new search and matching on @epidemicsound that helped me find it. #artforgrowth #healingart #meditativeartwork #microshort #microshortfilm #fractalart #fractalartist
