You're going to enjoy today's episode.About KatieKatie always loved to draw & paint. As a child it was her escape from the noise of a household of eight to go into our paddocks & create. It was also her favourite time filler while traveling the world with her husband. After having four children in five years & the time-poor years whilst they were all toddlers, she longed to put brush to paper without the stress of toddlers' wandering hands getting into her oil paints or mediums.For the last five years she has studied many different mediums in search of her artistic voice. With a background in photography, she absolutely adores light & portraits, capturing emotions within an image. Her true passion lies in connecting with her collectors through the emotions and messages that inspire her pieces.If this episode inspires you, leave a review and share your biggest takeaway with me.
