https://Art2Life.com - Growing up, Washington DC-based artist Katherine Mann’s father was an American foreign service officer. Her Taiwanese mother was a teacher and a graphic designer. Her father's position had them moving every 2-3 years. Katherine grew up in parts of Asia, the Middle East, and various places in the United States. Her interest in both Chinese brush paintings and western abstractionism was derived from these early childhood relocations that gives her work such a rich and distinct feel.  Katherine's art, like her life, has matured into a remarkable tour de force of combining disparate elements and contrasts. It is made by controlling paint but also freely pouring paint. It speaks to the fragility and majesty of nature simultaneously. It is bold and confident but also delicate and fragile. Her thinking and evolution as an artist shows us that we can embrace our separateness and know our innate, shared connection with the World. ================================ LISTEN IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN… Getting to know Katherine Mann, her unique style, and how her life informs her art [2:06] Diving into Katherine’s art-making process [11:17] The evolution of Katherine’s art journey and balancing different styles [16:19] Way-finding in Katherine’s art practice, knowing when her art is working, and the logistics of her creation process [30:03] Balancing parenting and art and looking at the road ahead for Katherine [38:25] How Katherine keeps her creative fire going [44:33] ================================ RESOURCES MENTIONED Yupo Synthetic Papers: https://yupousa.com/what-is-yupo/   ================================= CONNECT WITH KATHERINE MANN Website: https://www.katherinemann.net/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ktzulan/ ============================= CONNECT WITH NICHOLAS WILTON AND ART2LIFE: Get the Free COLOR TIPS PDF: https://workshop.art2life.com/color-tips-pdf-podcasts/  Follow the Sunday Art2Life Vlog: https://art2life.lpages.co/sign-up-for-the-a2l-vlog/  Follow Nicholas Wilton's Art on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicholaswilton/  Follow Art2Life on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/art2life_world/?hl=en  Like on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/art2lifeworld  Subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe8dJWKgPKkW4W3fsb1vLeg
