“Don’t be satisfied with how things have gone for others. Unfold your own myth. “ Rumi
Katrina has been a practicing artist and teacher since 1983. She has taught secondary art for 10 years and private art classes for primary school children for 15 years.
Katrina is also a certified teacher in “The Color of Woman” method of painting. Color of Woman is a step by step painting method based on intentional and intuitive practices. This school was developed by American artist and teacher Shiloh Sophia McCloud. Katrina studied with Shiloh Sophia in 2013.

As an Artist /Teacher Katrina believes that it is important to “practice what she preaches.’’
“By delving into my own creativity and expressing this through image, story and heart, I can intimately share this experience with my students and contribute to the process of their own creative development, intuitive exploration and ultimately their own heart and soul journey.”
