About Me

Cathleen is a visual development artist and illustrator in Los Angeles. She works in both digital and traditional media, specializing in background and character design, as well as comics and storyboarding. Her art style is a little bit whimsical, and she uses color and lighting to effectively portray the emotion of a piece. Her artwork is constantly inspired by moments in her life or by the world around her. 

She has worked for clients such as Upper Deck / Marvel Comics, Titan Books, Visual Communications and the Los Angeles Pan Pacific Film Festival, Lethal Chicken Games, the city of Old Town Pasadena, Oh Rio! Productions, and the Ronald McDonald House Charities. Her artwork has been featured in the Torrance Art Museum, the San Diego Art Institute, and numerous galleries in the Southern California region. She also co-published the children’s book, “It’s Sandcastle Building Day”. 

When she’s not working on projects, she is exhibiting her work at comic conventions throughout the country (some of which include San Diego Comic-Con, C2E2, Salt Lake City Comic Con, and New York Comic Con).

Some of Cathleen’s current projects include concept and character design work for the 2D animated film “What We’re Meant For”, a YA fantasy graphic novel based on a filipino magician, and the webcomic series “Herowood Boulevard”.
