Welcome to The Summery Umbrella Art Portfolio!

Meet the Artist

Linda Zahora-Cathcart

Hey there! I’m Linda, the artist behind The Summery Umbrella, where whimsical illustrations and vibrant surface patterns come to life. While you might know me from my DIY and home decor blog, this is where my artistic side shines! Here you’ll find collections bursting with florals, hand-lettered designs, playful holiday artwork, and surface patterns that bring joy to everyday items.

Each piece is crafted with love and attention to detail, drawing inspiration from vintage charm and modern whimsy. Whether you’re looking for the perfect pattern to license or just want to explore my creative world, I’m so happy you’re here!

After serving 8 years in the U.S. Air Force, my journey took a colorful turn as I rediscovered my passion for art and creativity. Surprisingly enough my military background, though unexpected, seamlessly intertwines with my artistic process, adding depth and discipline to my craft. Yet, creativity knows no bounds, and sometimes, it’s all about embracing the messiness of the moment!

Creative Process

It all starts with my humble sketchpad and trusty pencil, where ideas begin to take shape in their rawest form. With each stroke and line, I breathe life into my creations, infusing them with a burst of color that ignites their essence. From the delicate washes of watercolor to the bold strokes of marker, every medium adds its own magic to the mix.

But it doesn’t stop there – I love to experiment with unexpected elements like collage and crayon, pushing the boundaries of traditional artistry and even exploring digital avenues.
