Hello, my name is Katie and I received my Bachelors of Arts from Old Dominion University. I majored in Studio Art with a cluster focus in Criminal Justice and graduated with 15 college credited K-12 Education courses.
While at Old Dominion University I attended a variety of art classes including painting, drawing, photography, graphic design, art history, print making, jewelry making, sculpture, ceramics, and many more.
I specialize in different areas of art such as painting (acrylic, tempera, watercolor, spray paint), drawing (pencil, color pencil, marker, pastels, chalk pastels, charcoal), photography (digital and editing), graphic design (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.), art history, print making (mainly lithography, some screen printing and relief), jewelry making, sculpture (wood, metal, plexiglass, plaster, polymer clay), ceramics (clay, polymer clay).
