Hi, I'm Catrina,

an illustrator and designer

Welcome to read some professional & personal information about me.

Feel free to contact me via calaveracatrinart@gmail.com

or via my Instagram below.

My name is Catherine Sinichenko, Calavera Catrina is my nickname. I was born in Russia. Now I am based in Tbilisi and available anywhere.
I have almost 15 years of education in academic art and graphic design and about 5 years of experience in UI/UX design. I’ve also been working as a theatre poster maker, retoucher and illustrator. Now I’m concentrating on illustration only, as this area is my favourite.
I'm a big fan of embroidery!

I'm a dog lover and the happiest owner of the Jack-Russell Terrier called Punch. He is a very clever and educated doggy. Sometimes he's a bit too much cheerful, communicative and energetic. No complaints, though — I love him. He sends you his greetings, by the way!

I'm fond of carnivorous plants. My other hobbies are music and photography. They make me feel happy and fulfilled. I find travelling and reading very inspiring too.

I'm in love with all kinds of these magical creatures! Nepentheses, venus flytraps, and sundews are among the specimens of my own beloved collection.
I love fairy tales! They are usually simple, but mesmerizing and deep, that's why I prefer fairy tales to any other genre. I like both books and movies.
Since childhood I have been passionate about music. I equally enjoy listening and performing it. I used to play cello when I was a student. Now I sing and learn ukulele.
Thanks for watching and reading, darlings, I hope you enjoyed both my works and the facts from my life I'd shared. Visit my Instagram for more life and work moments or my Behance for the designer part of my portfolio. If you have any questions, proposals, or just want to chat with me — feel free to use my email or direct me on Instagram!

Love,
Catrina
