About Katherine

My name is Katherine Thunherst. I am an artist whose work often features the beauty and whimsy of the natural world. Everything from a bird’s feathers to a flower’s petals is caringly drawn and painted in a variety of mediums, including colored pencil, graphite, watercolor, acrylic paint, and pen. Polymer clay also makes appearances on my desk. Every pencil mark and brush stroke is built upon in a lengthy process until they have been organized into either a realistic or more illustrative composition. Watching a blank piece of paper transform as it gradually acquires an image of something that was not there before is an enjoyable process.

When I am not making art, I might be paging through a book or two (or twelve) or meandering outside. By meandering, I mean birding, studying ants, and looking for wildflowers.
