Kat studied Studio Art at the University of Maryland’s campus in Munich, Germany. Three years in Europe gave her the opportunity to visit museums and attend lectures and seminars in Belgium, Austria, Italy, and Spain as well as in Germany. She continues to study, attending classes and workshops through many avenues, including Art in the Valley and Atelier’s Garage, and classes under Lori Goll and Michael Budzisz. The media world presents us with wars, oppression, and hate, but if only one would observe Nature, one would see that there is so much more than that. Creation sustains itself with natural laws of Love and Truth, causing it to stand apart, completely oblivious to what we see on the news, and much better for it. It is all too easy to get caught up in what seems ‘real’ to us, and Kat strives, through her art, to call us back to True Reality.Through a mixture of realism and fantasy, Kat creates a space of peace for the viewer to meander into, to refresh the spirit. Her use of line and flow are meditative, her colors both soothe and excite, and often her composition invites us to remember the simplicity and wonder of our childhood days, before we became jaded with age.Kathryn now resides in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley. Having raised and homeschooled her four children, she is now free to turn her full attention to her artwork and creative endeavors. She does original work in many media, including Watercolors, Acrylics, Pastels, Ink, and Graphite. She also enjoys copper tooling and Polish Folk Art.

I think Creation has something to say, and I am privileged to give it a voice”-Kathryn Turner “I put my heart and soul into my work, and I have lost my mind in the process.”
? Vincent Willem van Gogh“I always think that the best way to know God is to love many things.”
? Vincent Van Gogh
