My STORY

Hi, I’m Catherine Toews. I am a designer & artist based in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada.

My exploration of flowers began with wildflowers. Before settling in Niagara as our permanent home, my family and I moved frequently.

I was born and raised under the prairie skies in Winnipeg, Manitoba, where I completed my Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) degree at the University of Manitoba. Since then, I’ve been lucky enough to live in Kingston, ON, Victoria, BC, and Erie, PA, but I am proud to now call the beautiful Niagara Region my home.

During times of transition and change, I discovered that observing, studying, and drawing wild, scattered flowers became a grounding practice.

Now, I have my own small garden. With the assistance of stacks of library books, I am learning how to grow and care for flowers in my backyard. I spend the summer taking photos in the garden and dedicate the quiet winter months to drawing and planning for the next growing season.

Thank you for joining me in the garden.

PEOPLE ARE SAYING:

“These are stunningly beautiful artistic objects. Send them to someone you love or use them to brighten your own personal space.”

– Mcnally Robinson Booksellers

I love creating art that is small, affordable, easily transportable, yet printed on archival quality paper.

Sending and receiving letters has meant more to me in recent years than ever before. Mailing a letter feels like a truly intentional way of saying ‘I miss you,’ ‘I love you,’ or ‘here’s a hug in the shape of a card.’

If you’d like, you can cherish an art card in a frame, knowing that the words written inside are safely preserved forever.

FLORA editions is the artistic branch of Tulip Tree Creative, my one-woman design studio and small business.

In my design work, I specialize in web design and development, digital marketing, branding and graphic design for small businesses, creators and nonprofits.

I live in the beautiful Niagara Region of Canada with my spouse & child. I work alongside a high powered creative team consisting of a large & hilarious dog named Pete & a quietly sophisticated cat named Sparkle.

Thank you for shopping small!
