Joan Katri
My goal is to create a peaceful serenity. My work is about color, closely related hues; landscapes capturing the essence of color, light and space; the flowers embracing the form.
I am a third generation Ferndaler. I began my art career by doing a huge painting of bottles and beakers for the science room at the high school. From high school to arts school majoring in fashion illustration, working in that field while continuing to paint and show my work around the country.
I now live in Ferndale; it is the source of my inspiration: the fog shrouded landscapes, fog clouds floating across the fields, the flowers fog filtered, the colors soft. Windows and doors also inspire me, the geometry becomes the focus.
All the work is acrylic on paper or canvas.
