Hi I'm Kathleen - designer, maker and creator of all things bright and colourful. If you love to stand out in a crowd or are simply experimenting with colour, my creations have something for everyone. 

 I've been a jewellery maker for 11 years, and by day I'm an art teacher. I've been creative most of my life, I love working with different mediums and methods and am always playing with colour.

All my designs are hand drawn or hand painted original works of art, so you can be assured you are buying something unique, that has been made with passion. Based in my inner Melbourne apartment I love to create my pieces from various materials such as wood, acrylic and polymer clay and experimentation is a large part of my creative practice.

You could say that I am a lover of all things Colour and I love creating in general. The aim of my Pattern Designs and Products are to send warmth and happiness every time you cast your eyes on my artwork.

Happiness for me comes from drawing, illustrating, collecting colour palettes and flowers, taking photos and seeing where a particular illustration can take me. It is very meditative and a healing process for me.

In my previous life I studied a Fashion and Merchandising degree however always wanted to create and make art. My Pattern Design love began about 10 years ago when I studied Rachel Taylor's course online - Make It In Design. It gave me the understanding to pursue this creative path.

I have a wonderful hubby Jonny and beautiful son Jake, and Obi our Black Lab who is as cheeky as they get. We live in Melbourne, Australia and love to travel to nature to take time out and bike ride, hike and for me gain more inspiration!

Hey! I’m Ang- I love art, illustration and Surface Design. My motto is that I create “ Uniquely detailed art to quirk up your life!” Details are my thing and producing chaotic, colourful works help me to de stress my overthinking nature.
I completed an Arts degree focusing on Art and History but chose a less frowned upon career for the best part of 16 years (Regrets!) and left my love of art behind until I had my daughter in 2017. It was at this time that my son was saying he wanted to be an artist when he grew up and I remembered I did too! I needed an outlet and my love of art and details came flooding back. My business is actually named after my kids and I as they got me back into it and form the “Antayjo” part of the name.
My work is always - Fashiony, Flowery, Patterny and Portraity wether I am working digitally or traditionally on a mix of - Patterns, OOAK art pieces and or wearable and non wearable art designs.
