>Artist's Bio Katrina Weber paints in oils, watercolor and pastels, and her subject matter is as varied as her media. “I find beauty in just about everything aroundme, and I am struck many times a day with visions that I want to capture.”

“My goal is to transcend the literal without losing touch with reality. My great-uncle, Erich Heckel, was a member of the German Expressionist group “Die Brücke”, and I am influenced by my early exposure to his artwork and the books about Expressionism that my father kept about the house. I alsofeel a kinship with some of the Califor nia Impressionists.” Katrina views her art as being a life-long development, and reads, visits galleries, and attends workshops on an ongoing basis.
