Cathy Hayson logo
Leura Garden Painting print by Cathy Hayson
This painting is of a garden and home based in Leura,
Blue Mountains. Titled "Mother's Garden"
whilst a personal piece, this limited edition print is a special artwork for anyone who appreciates gardens and charming old homes - especially in Leura. I hope it captures the essence of this special place and it's vibrancy in Spring.

With extended family multi generational ties to the Blue Mountains on my mother's side, many family get togethers have been held throughout generations in the family's former beautiful Leura parklike garden featuring Paul Sorrenson planted trees (the same person responsible for Everglades Garden in Leura) with over 300 types of roses and many rare and old special plantings."

ABOUT the artist and writer

Creative Journey

Neutral Bay Ferry, Hayes St Ltd Print of Painting by Cathy Hayson

Early Beginnings:


Growing up near the water in Sydney, I always had a passion for the arts and I had wonderful creative role models.

​

Now based on Sydney's Lower North Shore with my family, I hope that my children each find their own unique creative expressions and connections to place - anywhere which holds a special meaning to them and that they feel as inspired by these similar natural settings as I did as a child. ​

​

With extended family multi generational ties to the Blue Mountains on my mother's side, I fondly recall making toys out of Mountain Devil shrubs (also known as Lambertia Formosa) when visiting the great aunts. The vibrancy of the colours of nature, the crispness of fresh air and pillowy mist, bird song and waterfalls. My children have enjoyed the same.

​

As an adult, I lived in the Blue Mountains for 7 years and contributed to community through business as well as some altruistic efforts.


Both my grandmothers were very creative - Ga : who sewed beautifully and made incredible dolls. She was good friends with the renowned Australian artist and children’s author Pixie O’ Harris and lived near Parsley Bay.

​

My Nan was an excellent writer - especially poetry. I loved reading and I could disappear for hours reading books like the Magic Faraway Tree and more.

COMING SOON BOOK LAUNCH

Cathy Hayson logo

I have a NEW book of poetry and art coming out. Below you'll find a select few samples of some of the work I have written. Please subscribe to my Newsletter to find out when the book is coming out. The book is called "Let's Dream Together"

Section from "Who will see the Starfish when we're gone"

 

"....The illusion of surrender, always to the ride

To the elements, to be at one with all

To be guided by providence, no matter what’s ahead

To restore to new horizons, no mind to put doubt to bed

Who will see the Starfish when we’re gone"

​

Section from "I Went Looking For My Frangipani Tree"

 

I went looking for my frangipani tree

The one from my childhood - I collected fragrant blossoms selectively from it’s limbs

Placing each treasure to become bountiful in my basket

Gazing upwards lying down, twirling each flower like a kaleidoscope unfolding endless daydreams..."

 

..."

"Mother’s garden – she commenced her journey in this town

Her beloved birth place, her beginning, the earliest jewel in her Crown

Tended to with a mother’s love, a nurse’s loving toil

This jewel stays with her, it’s essence and it’s seasons embedded in her core

Verdant fertile garden beds rich in clay, now rich in memory restored

Reunion, family with it’s growth to come around

Her motherly love with it’s seasons softly bound..."

Section from "Secret Beach"

​

"Secret Beach, a special retreat

Not far from the main beach, around the bay, end of street

Around the corner and across a little bridge

With the dogs, down the steps

Let me take you there

 

Secret Beach, across the street

All worries dissipate as you pass by the waterfall

Soothed by fresh water rushing down into the big drink below....."

​

Section from "Mother's Garden"

Cathy Hayson drawing I want them to know

Section from "I Want Them to Know"

 

"I want them to know

the rustle of long grass, the wind in their hair

Of magic worlds discovered without a care

Exploring together their make believe

In sync with nature, no moment to take leave...."

 

"I​ntertwining family stories extend who we are

Weaving patterns shaping the fabric of who we become

A collaboration of ideas, strengthened by belonging

Fate dapples its hues, gilding the seams to create vivid tapestries.

For the children - let us dare to dream.

Let us establish new threads connecting chapters.

With the tapestry evolving, let it bring the rapture of the moment forward with each thread....."​
