Kat is one of my favorite artists to do shows with. She works with so many mediums in different styles that she sometimes seems like a few artists in one. Kat is world traveled and brings a lot of knowledge and fun wherever she goes.

So my daughters attended one of her classes and I can't believe some of the great art pieces that came out of them. She truly has a knack for understanding how to bring out the creative side of kids. Some of the pieces that I have seen her do are amazing. I wish I could draw or paint like her. She is also very special in the fact that I have see so many different types of mediums she uses and that is truly rare.

I've been following Kat's work for years! She taught adult classes at local restaurants and those were so much fun, I loved going to them! She taught a children's paint course at RVC and my Girls took that class and they just loved her! She has had her work displayed in many galleries in the Rockford area and I've gone to see her a few times. Always unique and amazing pieces.
