The Prosperity Collection

Katrina's Prosperity Collection is a gentle, respectful fusion of Eastern and Western cultures. Inspired by her personal love and connection to Singapore, this series features Koi fish, symbols of strength, perseverance, and abundance. The Koi fish, celebrated in the famous fable 'The Koi at Dragon's Gate', is known for its journey of transformation and success, embodying the core principles of Feng Shui.

Each piece in the Prosperity Collection invites viewers into a space of deep contemplation and tranquility. The diverse colour palettes and fluid forms create a harmonious balance, aligning with the Feng Shui elements of water and flow, which promote prosperity and positive energy. Katrina's ability to convey these noble symbols through her art makes her work not only visually stunning but also spiritually enriching.


‘Botonica’ Collection

This beautiful intricate body of work is a stunning contrast to Katrina’s large scale bold Prosperity Series.

Meticulously detailed, the pieces have an almost perfect balance to the eye. Each element in these striking watercolours perfectly formed and painted to give not only a feeling of depth, but an ethereal like quality as the stones seemingly fall away from the centre piece into the abyss.

The ‘Botanica’ Collection have a timeless style and elegance about them, reminiscent of the Royal Botanical Society, yet with a compelling contemporary feel.

A painting prodigy from a young age, Katrina was asked to paint a gift for HRH Queen Margrethe of Denmark at just twelve years old.

This early recognition was just the beginning of an illustrious career that spans fine art, media, and advertising.

Her journey in the art world has been defined by a remarkable ability to blend cultural influences, particularly evident in her most renowned work, the Prosperity Collection.
