Mainwaring Fine Art:

Katie Mainwaring is an artist who loves to find the magic in everything...

Welcome to my art world!

My work is largely reflective where I live on Canada’s beautiful West Coast, but also by the world of fantasy, it’s mythical creatures, and it’s magical realms hidden beyond. 

My subject matter and medium varies from landscapes to line drawings but there is always a sense of mystery, or something to spark the imagination. I strive to create a sense of curiosity for the viewer and to make them feel something they’ve never felt before.          

          A passion for maps inspired me to make a map of my hometown, Bowen Island in British Columbia’s Howe Sound. I wanted it to be geologically accurate but at the same time exciting to look at, as if you were looking at a treasure map. Mermaids, sea monsters and sunken treasure can be found scattered amongst the many other details, only some of which truly exist.

Use your imagination!
