[0:02] [Music] [0:14] i'm Katrina Pete i'm an artist i do [0:17] watercolor and acrylic and oil so I [0:21] don't have a formal degree in art i have [0:23] a a medical lab science degree and so I [0:27] worked in the medical field for 12 years [0:30] and it was a great job um when my kids [0:32] were born then I decided to take a step [0:35] back and be at home with them but also [0:38] around the same time I started doing [0:40] designs for um Hallmark cards and that's [0:44] when I started getting into licensing my [0:47] work and so now a lot of the work that I [0:51] do is licensed onto fabric and home [0:54] decor um wall art things like that and [0:58] my latest collection features flowers [1:01] from my garden and nearby areas that I [1:04] love and in this collection I really [1:07] want to capture that light and the the [1:10] movement um within a garden because we [1:13] wait all winter long to see things bloom [1:16] and so this collection is really just a [1:18] celebration of that light that happens [1:21] in spring and summer and so through [1:24] these pieces I worked on larger canvases [1:28] and I really just explored more of the [1:31] movement of painting and using [1:34] expressive brush work and trying to [1:37] capture that color shift that you see [1:39] with light filtering through leaves and [1:42] petals my artwork will be on display [1:44] here at the Lakeville Area Arts Center [1:47] from now until June 28th and then my [1:50] artwork will be on display at City Hall [1:52] from July 16th through September 9th
