Art {katherine santana}

Art - for some people it's a hobby, for my friend Katherine Santana, it's a passion. Katherine is local to Baton Rouge, LA, but a product of the Atlanta area. I knew she had talent when I saw her sketches, doodles, and photographs in high school...and she's only gotten better.

Mini-Interview with Katherine
Tell me about your major: "I'm a 4th year Art major at LSU with a concentration in Printmaking."

How long have you been doing art?: "I guess since I was 13 years old. You know how I learned how to walk...my mother would put down butcher paper and put my feet in paint so that I would walk across the paper, making colorful steps and paintings."

What inspires your art?: "Usually...life. I hate to say that, but that's what it is. Human interaction and communication from this realm and from whatever realm that's outside of this...a higher power in which people communicate with internally."

How would you describe your art?: Colorful! It's very colorful. My style is just whatever I feel like doing that day. I don't think I'm confined to a certain style yet. My mind changes from day-to-day...it's a Santana style."

Are any of your pieces for sale?: Yes, all of them. I'm learning to not be so attached to my art.
