May Artwalk with Katherine Jore
May 5, 2017 @ 5:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Come see the Paintings of Katherine Jore of Daydream House at the May Artwalk!
Originally from South Dakota, Katherine has always been interested in creating and exploring different mediums. As a child, she enjoyed watercolors, clay, weaving or anything else that made a colorful mess. Growing up all over the Midwest, she spent weekends at libraries, museums and any other event where she and her brother could see something new and exciting. With family members interested in everything from cooking and sewing to painting and crocheting, she also got to learn a variety of crafts. Her formal training in art came from time spent at Bemidji State University in Northern Minnesota. While there, she earned a BA in Visual Arts as well as a BS in Design Technology.
Today she uses those varied skills to express her perception of the world through use of bright colors and varied materials. Her main interests are mixed media painting and visual journaling, along with the occasional sewing project. Her inspiration comes from hiking, camping, gardening, cooking and reading. Taking care of her two young children reminds her that art should be fun and expressive. They and the dog are her constant studio companions. Thanks to their help and the encouragement of her husband, she continues to explore and expand on her art. Knowing that art is a universal language, she hopes to reach more people and bring them joy through her work.
