Katra Peck

Artist Statement

My intent is to transform a common scene into something new and stunning that will leave the viewer with feelings of surprise and joy. I am constantly thinking about composition, harmony, colors, texture and movement. I want to capture a mood, an impression of a place, an expression of my feelings. I constantly push myself to discover new techniques. I find excitement in doing different themes and styles shifting from medium to medium. I think of my paintings as an invitation to each viewer to look beneath the surface and to uncover new ways of encountering themselves and their world, rich with possibility.
