Short biography of Catherine
Ekaterina was born on April 4, 1988 in the Moscow region. Since childhood, the girl dreamed of drawing. It was thanks to this desire that she became a professional artist, and later a master of painting on fabric. Since 2011 Ekaterina has been giving master classes.

Balashova Ekaterina very rarely answers questions related to the process of her work, however, at rare webinars she is happy to shareexperience and helps with advice to budding artists and textile artists.
Sun Kat Brand
"You don't have to be a designer to bring your ideas to life" - this phrase was guided by Ekaterina when creating her brand. This is now her motto. When someone asks her about how to start a business, she admits: “I'm not the best business advisor. You just have to love what you do.”
Orders are booked weeks in advance, because each item is created exclusively for one person. Nevertheless, Catherine easily manages to combine work and family life. She is a happy wife and loving mother of twins.
Each thing painted by Ekaterina is unique, because the idea is created together with the customer, there is no idea that the artist cannot bring to life.
Handmade - "made by hands" in literal translation, things made by hand.
