I remember saying \u2018I want to do that\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kat now resides on the Surf Coast with hubby, Matt, and their three children and is living her dream of working as a full-time illustrator.<\/p>\n<p>She started her business, Kat &amp; Fox, in 2016 while living in Wodonga but says a change of scenery beckoned, prompting the family to pack up and move to Torquay.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLove it, love it \u2013 best move ever,\u201d Kat says of the seachange. \u201cI love the people. There are absolutely talented people here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kat illustrates children\u2019s book and works with businesses creating avatars and characters they can use in branding, as well as creating illustrations by commission.<\/p>\n<p>A few weeks ago she moved into Boom Studios in Newtown and she found her productivity went \u201cthrough the roof\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI run it like a proper business now which is just huge for me,\u201d she says of no longer working from home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince I\u2019ve come here Kat &amp; Fox has gone ahead in leaps and bounds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It has been a busy start to the year for the gifted artist who has launched her latest project, Kat\u2019s ART Club &#8211; an online illustration hub for kids aged 6-11 years where they can learn a range of skills during fortnightly online sessions, as well as interacting with other budding illustrators.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe art club actually happened due to losing work with a really big publisher through COVID and I really freaked out thinking \u2018I had all this work coming in and now I don\u2019t,\u201d Kat says.<\/p>\n<p>Kat says a fellow woman in business suggested she do an online illustration class via Zoom and open it up for young people to use for free during the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just put it out there and in the second week I had about 130 kids staring back at me,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was overwhelming. I got in at the right time because everybody wanted their kids to be doing something.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kat began charging a small fee of $4.95 per class which continued for about three months until a business coach encouraged her to pursue it as a permanent addition to the Kat &amp; Fox offering. Kat\u2019s ART Club was born.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s been going properly since November,\u201d she says. \u201cI retained about 16 of my members and I\u2019m slowly growing it back after slowing down over Christmas \u2026 I have lots of plans and it\u2019s really exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Members of the club gain access to the fortnightly live sessions, as well as guided tutorials, prize draws and a private Facebook discussion group.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really love that I\u2019m actually encouraging kids to draw, to read books and really start to think through scenarios and ideas,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just want these kids to hold onto their imagination for as long as they can.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-49222 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/timesnewsgroup.com.au\/surfcoasttimes\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/Untitled-design-13-3-1024x538.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"336\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Kat cannot remember a time in her own childhood when she wasn\u2019t surrounded by an array of textas and colouring-in books.<\/p>\n<p>But it wasn\u2019t just because she showed a natural talent from a young age.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was born in 1974 in the UK and back then medicine was a bit na\u00efve about mental health,\u201d she says. \u201cMy parents noticed that I would have a lot of tantrums and I would get very emotional.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At age six a doctor suggested she might have a hyperactivity disorder.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe told my mum to make sure I didn\u2019t have anything with Tartrazine colouring in it, for example orange cordial \u2013 just keep her off that,\u201d Kat explains.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo that is what she did and I still ate everything else, lollies and other things with a high sugar content. They wondered why they couldn\u2019t control it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kat says she wasn\u2019t treated for ADHD and her condition went untreated, causing many issues and mental health complications through the years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese days I would have probably been put on medication at a young age which would have actually prevented a lot of things that happened later in my life,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a result, I am a massive advocate for encouraging people if they have a child showing the signs to get them under the right treatment. It\u2019s massive because what you can do is actually give them a calm mind so they can manage their future life better, rather than making crazy choices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kat says the one thing her mum discovered could soothe her moods and keep her focused was art.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen she sat me down with colouring-in books it sort of shut me up and I was calm afterwards,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo my parents jumped on it and through my whole life they have encouraged me to be creative.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kat worked as interior designer for many years before finally finding her true calling as an illustrator. In the past few years she has illustrated about 15 children\u2019s books and she has a dozen already booked in to complete this year.<\/p>\n<p>Kat says book illustration appeals to her because of its need to mix performance with illustration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the perfect combination between acting and drawing \u2013 two things as a child through to an adult that I always got joy from,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you are drawing for a book it is like you are the director for a movie or a play on the stage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are given the text and you have to act out everything &#8211; where is that character going to be, what are they going to look like, how are they moving?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She now has plans to start a YouTube channel while continuing her illustration work and building on Kat\u2019s ART Club.<\/p>\n<p>There have been sliding doors moments along the way, but Kat feels like she is where she is supposed to be.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI went and did a Big Ideas workshop with Clare Bowditch and she made us do this thing where you imagine where you will be in five years\u2019 time,\u201d Kat recalls.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I walked into this studio space at Boom I had cold shivers down my spine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought \u2018this is almost what I imagined\u2019 five years ago \u2013 so I feel really good with where I\u2019m at.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Discover more about Kat\u2019s ART Club at <a href=\"http:\/\/katandfox.com.au\">katandfox.com.au<\/a> and follow Kat &amp; Fox on Instagram <strong>@kat_and_fox<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A childhood visit to London\u2019s Tate Gallery was a pivotal moment for Katharine Rattray.
