Katherine Michael Paints Nostalgia
Issue: 2020/06 - June
What do ping pong balls and wooden sub flooring have in common?
Katherine Michael!
Katherine is originally from Illinois, but has made Florida her home for nearly 20 years.
Being a folk artist, you never know what she will paint nor what types of materials she will use for her creations; being out-of-the-box, she sometimes uses ping pong balls to fashion her subjects’ faces, and she always uses wooden sub flooring as her canvas.
Katherine has always created things, but she began in earnest painting and selling her work over 15 years ago.
Now, she does use traditional acrylics as her medium of choice in painting her treasures, all composed in her studio – the dining room table.
You can tell that her favorite subjects are family and pets, and they are prominently on show in her memory pieces. Simple, everyday events centered around the heart of the home, the kitchen, also take center stage. Baking pies is a familiar scene, and the gallery has several different pie pieces, straight from the oven, on display.
