About Me:
Catherine Knee of Creatoria Nyx
Welcome to My Creative World
I am Catherine Knee of Creatoria Nyx, a passionate UK artist and multi-skilled creator who thrives on exploring the endless possibilities of art and imagination. From fantasy photography to alternative jewellery design and alternative gothic artwork, I embrace creativity in all its forms, moving freely between mainstream, dark alternative, steampunk, and fantasy styles. My work celebrates the beauty of duality: light and dark, reality and fantasy, pain and joy, reflecting the complexity of being human.
What I Create
As an independent artist and small business owner, I specialise in creating unique pieces that tell a story. My offerings include:
Fantasy and Fine Art Photography: Ethereal, otherworldly scenes inspired by fairies, angels, mermaids, gothic imagery, and mythical tales.
Handmade Jewellery and Accessories: Designed for people who value freedom, diversity, and authenticity in their style.
Wall Art and Functional Creations: Photography, mixed media, and innovative techniques combined to produce art that defies traditional boundaries.
Every creation is a labour of love, blending emotive themes with craftsmanship.
Beyond the Studio
Photography is at the heart of my journey. I am a judge at local camera clubs, deliver photography talks, and offer custom photoshoots for clients who want something unique. I also teach Photoshop to beginners and intermediates across the UK, helping others unlock their own creativity.
My work has been exhibited internationally in more than 20 countries including the USA, France, Germany, and Australia.
Art with Depth and Meaning
My art is not only about beauty. It is about connection. Some of my photography explores raw emotions like pain, sorrow, and despair. These images speak directly to the human experience and can offer comfort to those who need to feel less alone. Art can say this is how it feels when words are not enough.
At the same time, I create fantasy art filled with fairies, angels, and mythical beings. These works are a reminder that there is more to life than the ordinary. Reality may be constant, but imagination is infinite.
Embracing Duality
I believe in the dual nature of humanity: light and dark, joy and sorrow, strength and vulnerability. My work reflects this duality, and I invite you to explore both the brighter and darker sides of existence, including the gothic moods that run through much of my photography. I may fear the literal dark, but I am not afraid of the shadows within.
Join Me on This Journey
For me, art is more than creating or selling. It is about freedom of expression and the connection it builds between people. I invite you to explore my galleries, browse my shop, or get in touch with me directly. I would love to hear your thoughts and share this journey with you.
Thank you for stepping into my creative world. Together we can celebrate the beauty of living authentically and embracing all the facets of who we are, whether they are mainstream or alternative.
