Kait D’arcy
Hi, I’m Kait! An Aussie girl from North Queensland, Australia, and a recently naturalized Canadian from Calgary, Canada.
I’ve been lucky enough to enjoy a lifetime of creating, working in various artistic industries, designing beautiful things and spaces, travelling the world, and living in two beautiful and affluent countries.
I adore the full spectrum of the colour green, comedies and comedians, fresh flowers and faux plants, books and records, a Macca’s meal and fine dining, memes and gifs, designer dresses and home clothes, swimming and dancing, and above all else, my Mark D’Arcy and our golden Flynn.
My Journey
Isn’t it amazing when your worst possible nightmare happens, but through the process of clawing your way out, you end up becoming the person you always wanted to be and building the life you always dreamed of living? Well, that happened to me…
In August 2020, I injured my drawing wrist and lost my ability to draw. That event and the subsequent three-year rehabilitation served as the catalyst that transformed me and my life.
These four invaluable lessons changed me: You have agency and influence over your life. Embrace the role of being your own staunch advocate. Curate your inner circle with only the best; drop the rest. Beauty and joy can be cultivated.
Drawing again has become an unmatched joy for me. It has refined my passion for creating beautiful and emotive art that encourages and inspires people when they see it in their homes, impacting their daily lives.
Three things you should know about me, I believe there’s power in stories, I believe kindness and love are underrated, and I believe you should eat the damn cake.
To learn more about my journey, read my “Finding Myself in the Canadian Rockies” collection story.
Canadian Rockies
Have you ever explored the Canadian Rockies? If you have, you know of its astounding beauty and allure. These endless grand mountains, lakes and canyons of vivid aqua blue and wild colourful flora transport and transfix you, allowing you to simultaneously escape your life while finding yourself.
Each artwork in my “Finding Myself in the Canadian Rockies” collection was created to capture the incredible beauty and splendour of these iconic landmarks and how they make us feel. These places personally inspired me during a pivotal point in my life, and I hope that with one of these pieces in your home, you’ll be transported back to this magical place, the memories you keep, and be endlessly inspired by its story.
There are still a few more drawings to join the collection, so sign up for my VIP List to ensure you snag your favourite “spot”!
Australian icons
Australian animals are devastatingly wild and magnificent, bursting with energy, colour, and texture. Their uniqueness inspires us, grounds us, and reminds us that ‘different’ is beautiful and joyful.
Each hand-drawn animal in this collection was created to magnify each creature's unique wonder and beauty. They each have a name and a story to share. With one of these beauties on your wall, you’ll start each day with a spring in your step and a softness in your heart.
