It's been awhile since I posted Cate Parr's beautiful illustrations. She is an artist/illustrator born and educated in England, currently living in Los Angeles, California. You can view and purchase her work here or visit her website www.cateparr.com. 


I love these head shot illustrations, these would be so wonderful to frame and make an art wall collage of her work. She has so many other beautiful illustrations, so be sure to check out the rest of her work.
