  • Kat is a genuine artist who has always demonstrated a high skill level beyond her discipline. She has always actively sought to share her knowledge and inform those around her to elevate her work. I have had the good fortune to witness the effect of her focus and positivity on the project by way of how she works with the team. Kat brings both a unique perspective and focused edge to tasks, which is also true for this workshop.
