Born in Uccle in 1934, Kathelyn worked for an advertising agency before illustrating as a freelancer. She illustrated books for the Belgian Red Cross prior to her discovery by the publishing house Casterman. In the 1970s, she began her work on the Marmouset series. The first volume in the series, titled Le Pied de Marmouset, was published in 1975. The 27 volumes in the series sold over two million French-language copies, with translations into several languages. The series was known as Petertje in Dutch, Yumurcak in Turkish, Stefan in German, and Caspar in English.

During the 2000s, Kathelyn worked as a comics colorist for comics series such as The Adventures of Alix, Murena, and Destins [fr]. In 2015, she published her first novel, titled Le Poison silence, followed by her second novel, Passe le train, published in 2019. In 2018, she stood in the local elections in the municipality of Forest for the party Ecolo, obtaining 290 votes. In 2020, she colored two volumes of the series Le Pape et le peintre by Paul Teng.
