The woman with the magic pencil, Katherine Charlton.
There's a great little website called madeit.com.au which showcases the handmade work of creative Australians. Great for gift ideas. One of my favourite artists is Katcharly - the work of Katherine Charlton who says she is "most happy with a pencil in my hand. When I'm drawing or painting I'm always miles away, which I think is what I love about it so much." The girl dragging a toaster came to her one day and she had to draw her, which was the beginning of this quirky character. "I wanted to illustrate the proverbs that we use in our everyday lives," she says. Katherine's work is also featured on Etsy.
