Canadian-born and London-based Catherine Martin studied Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art and worked at Antique Markets following her interest in interiors and objects. 18 months ago, during a trip to Mexico, she discovered the beading skills of a Mexican tribe called Huichol and fell in love with the beaded objects. She managed to communicate with this very private tribe and luckily brought their beautifully beaded skulls over. After two more visits she took a step further and is now developing her own designs for the skulls which are hand-beaded by the best of the Huichol beaders.
