2020 Calendar
The images for next year’s calendar have been selected by my followers on Facebook this year. Above is a selection.
Calendars can only be purchased by preorder this year. I am still awaiting my printers quote but will update on price as soon as I can. Last year’s were £18.50 and I hope to hold it again for this year. I will be donating £1 to Amazon Watch for each one sold.

Art Holiday News!
Next year there will be two opportunities to travel to Morocco for an Art holiday with me!
A fantastic holiday in the Atlas Mountains, with time in Marrakech and Essaouira in May with Karima Rebecca Powell.
And a chance to explore Essaouira more fully in July with a 5 night stay in the heart of the medina and time to explore Marrakech too in July.
Please see my Morocco Art Holidays pages for more details
It has been a quiet start to the year, after a very difficult and traumatic few months following the diagnosis of my husband Bill’s cancer and his much too early death last November it has taken me some time to reemerge and reassemble for 2019.
I have started fundraising on Ko-Fi with the goal of producing an illustrated book of Bill’s best loved songs. You can support me here: https://ko-fi.com/katherinesoutar
After another successful Morocco Art escape we have fixed the dates for next year! More information on the Morocco Art Holidays page.
I have various projects that have been on the backburner for a while now, both solo and collaborative and I want 2019 to be the year I put some substantial work into bringing these into the light.
I plan to make Patreon the place where I share information about the processes I use when illustrating and workshopping and also more insights into why certain stories resonate so much with me. Patreon is starting to grow into a real community of people who are invested in what I do and I want to repay more of that investment over the next year . If you are interested in being one of my patrons you can see what it’s all about here https://www.patreon.com/KatherineSoutar
My love affair with the landscape, stories and people of Morocco continues unabated. And there are opportunities for people to join me either on an art escape or in the desert for a trek to discover what it is that makes this such a special place for me.

Camp Sahara
Camp Sahara is a small but perfectly formed family desert tour agency set up by myself and my Saharaoui friends in M’hamid, the gateway to the Moroccan Sahara. Our aim is to give people the chance to experience the beauty and majesty of the desert first hand in the way that i have been lucky enough to over the past few years. If you are an artist, bring your sketchbook, if a photographer, your camera, if you are interested in wildlife or history we will find them too. but above all bring an open heart and a sense of wonder.
