Hi! I'm Kat, and I've been painting interiors and spaces for over 14 years.

I'm excited to share my framework with you inside this workshop, where we'll tackle composition, meaning, emotion, and oil painting together. As an artist born in Russia, I've earned global recognition for my contemporary oil paintings of interiors and landscapes.

I have a Bachelorā€™s in Fine Art from Kutztown University, which I earned in 2011, and since then, I've been showcasing my work internationally, solidifying my place in the global art community. My explorations of mood, emotion, and themes of home and belonging are influenced by post-impressionism, fauvism, and magical realism.

Inspired by the Fauvists, Peter Doig, Bonnard, and the Impressionists, my work focuses on identity and belonging, often through painting interiors and landscapes. In this workshop, I hope to share with you how I create safe and inviting spaces in my art. My goal is to help you feel confident in your painting process and bring your unique energy into your artwork.

Client Love

"I have been an intuitive abstract painter for years, but I was intrigued by Kat's class. After watching the demos, I decided to give interiors a whirl. I have always been intimidated by painting from reference and didn't think I could paint anything really realistic.

Ironically, by focusing on little abstract shapes and imagining Kat's voice telling me to "notice and respond," I was slowly able to watch a scene come to life before my eyes. It was incredibly satisfying and encouraged me to be present in a different way, just "noticing and responding."

I'm currently in the process of moving, and painting the interiors has become a meditation for me to reflect on my home.

I am also interested to see how the lessons learned here will reflect in my other abstract work.

I'm so grateful for this class. It has been an absolute delight!"

"The love, guidance and support I received from Kat is helping me continue to take my art career to new heights. I am so thankful I listened to my heart and made this investment to work with Kat."
