Welcome to all those interested in combining the making of ART with TRAVEL… to have an enriching, personal experience.
We are a small specialised company offering Art tours that incorporate art making with visits to traditonal artisans – we are artists who conduct the tours so we understand the need to keep it small, personal and to add unique touches that you may not experience with larger companies or even smaller ones..we will not be waving flags at you to follow us! nor will you feel like a ‘tourist’..
Our local knowledge ensures that you will feel part of the fabric of the location..our research is impeccable so that you come away feeling informed, not a superficial drop in tourist…you will have plenty of time to relax, make your art and enjoy the special itinerary..
In conjunction with Lakshmi Tours www.lakshmitours.com and my friend and tour operator, Kamlesh Vyas www.suryaarthouse.com and Kim Woods we have an inspiring artmaking programme, including visits to traditional artisans. See the Drawn to India menu for our itineries.\
If you wouldlike me to personalise a programme for you simply email me with your enquiries and suggestions: info@catherineparker.com.au

We joined Catherine’s ‘Drawn to India’ trip in November 2010. The experience was bizzarre, invigorating and amazing, like diving into a Salman Rushdie novel with all it’s contradicting, fantastic, multilayered story lines, history jostling with the present and crowded with improbable characters. Not just that, but Catherine and Kamlesh’s tour was designed so you got to be part of the novel too. A small group, going to off-beat places, doing artwork outside, in hotels, cafes and in the street, meeting people from all walks of life and learning about Indian culture was brilliant. Totally recommend Catherine and Kamlesh to anyone who has a love of life and a happy heart.
