Local Artist Showcases Garden-Inspired Collection at City Venues
Artist Katrina Pete will display her latest floral collection at two city venues through early September, featuring watercolor, acrylic and oil paintings inspired by garden blooms.
Pete's artwork is currently on display at the Lakeville Area Arts Center through June 28, followed by an exhibition at City Hall from July 16 through September 9. The collection celebrates spring and summer flowers from her garden and nearby areas.
The artist transitioned to art after working 12 years in medical lab science, beginning her artistic career creating designs for Hallmark cards. Pete now focuses on licensing her work for commercial use on fabric, home decor and wall art.
Her latest collection emphasizes capturing light and movement within garden settings. Pete said she worked on larger canvases to explore expressive brushwork and color shifts created by light filtering through leaves and petals.
The exhibitions provide residents opportunities to view Pete's work celebrating the seasonal transition from winter to the blooming periods of spring and summer.

[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
