Kat started painting in high school after she spent a summer building a house with a humanitarian group in India.  They spent many days that summer traveling on the Indian Train Network watching the spectacular changes in environment as they traveled from Mumbai to Chennai and later up to New Delhi.  While in India she would draw whenever she had free time. After her trip to India she wanted to start using paints to express the beauty of nature around her.  Kat's current work uses pattern, color, and movement to show freedom and grace.  Her work belongs in collections such as The State of Wisconsin, University of Wisconsin - Madison, and Lewis University in Illinois.  Her web-site is kdynespainting.com. Artist Statement Living in the Upper Midwest has greatly shaped my art.  We have beautiful wildlife and landscapes.  The summers are full of lush greens.  The falls are rich in reds, oranges, and yellows.  Winters are full of blues, browns, and whites.  I paint with the same beautiful colors that I experience from year to year.  I use oil paints because they are fluid and slow drying which allows me to paint the pattern in the background.  The subject matter represents freedom and grace.  The backgrounds are painted with a patterned brushwork representing a place of hope.  I combine the patterned abstract backgrounds with the subject matter to show the places we hope to go by spiritually, physically, and psychologically embracing both freedom and grace.
