Katia pulls from a constant flow of experiences to translate the flow of beauty, emotions and vibrancy that exists in the world around us.

I am drawn to the details found when observing people, places, experiences, and energy up close, and discovering their unexpected layers and patterns.  By being curious, investigating deeper beneath the surface, I discover the richness that is part of all life.

In my work, I employ an explorative process of adding, deleting, and building up, using a variety of media to create depth and movement.  The layering process is fascinating. With each layer something new emerges, while other things become hidden or obstructed.  Light and shadow continuously provide new perspectives.

My series, “Beneath the Surface,” is the compilation of my experiences and the awe of what is revealed, hidden, and carried by the ebb and flow of life. This body of work provides snapshots of the remarkable richness and complexity I observe.
