As a child, Catrin Welz-Stein loved to draw and liked to be creative. Her inspirations are Fantasy, Children Stories, Medieval, Jugendstil (Art Nouveau), Folklore and Surrealism.

In 2009 she started to create digital images by collaging old illustrations and photographs.
At the same time she discovered online social networks and her private images were then open to the public. The positive responses she got there were her motivation to go on with her art .
