Hello my darlings and welcome to my page.
Bio
My name is Katherine and I am a half Canadian-Italian/half mutt; an artist who came from a small town called Ridgeway in southern Ontario who currently lives in Toronto. I attended George Brown College for Art and Design Foundations which entitled me to study several art forms ranging from traditional figure drawing, painting, photography , as well as digital rendering. Immediately after Graduating with a Certificate in Art and Design I enlisted into OCAD University where I dedicated the next 5 year to the Drawing and Painting program in which I graduate in June 2014 with a Bachelor in Fine Arts and a minor in English. During my stay at the University I have stemmed my focus on not just drawing and paintings but illustrations and sculptures with taxidermy elements as well. I have sold on commissions to individuals as well as done illustrations in homes and store walls.
Artist Statement
My art is the manifestation of the subconscious mind; creating an unrealistic realm visually and having it manifest on a physical plane. Dreams have an intricate language which creates familiarity between others who experience similar connections in their own subconscious realities. My materials depend on the outcome I wish to achieve, because of this my pieces can range from a 2 dimensional image to a 3 dimensional figure. Ultimately my practice is me creating things which I find to be Beautiful, frightening, sad, or what ever emotion or aesthetic is being reflected through myself or my inspiration at that moment of creation.
