ARTIST STATEMENT
Whether by natural processes or human influence, the planet is constantly changing on large and small scales. Through my work, I seek to capture fleeting moments of the world around me. I want to challenge the idea that the landscapes perceived as timeless are also unmoving. Although I may use different mediums to accomplish my vision for each project, my goal remains the same. I aim to create works that honor nature through detailed imagery, while also exploring how to capture the human emotions associated with witnessing wild places in person. It is my hope that by viewing my artwork, others may reflect on the natural places they love and how they choose to honor them.
BIOGRAPHY
Born and raised at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, Kait learned from a young age to have a deep respect for mother nature. Through her pursuit of a career in natural resources, she has spent countless hours outdoors, working, recreating, and capturing the beauty of the world around her. Kait’s time in the Rockies fostered a love of the alpine tundra and a fascination with the regions of the planet that are still buried under glacial ice. The first time she saw glaciers as an adult, she was hooked and dreamed of a day when she could use her artistic talents to talk about how climate change impacts the cold places of our planet. Kait is thrilled to have participated in her first art residency in 2023 at Olympic National Park as a part of the Terminus, Glacier Memorial Project. Kait's artwork has been on display at the Downtown Artery in Fort Collins, Colorado, at the Grand Canyon Community Rec Center in Grand Canyon Village, Arizona, and most recently at the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center in Port Angeles, Washington. She primarily works with embroidery, technical illustration, and acrylic painting, but finds immense inspiration in trying new creative mediums.
