For Katrina, en plein air oil painting is far more than a technique—it is an act of profound connection. By stepping outdoors, she completely submerges herself in the environment, using all of her senses to absorb the shifting light, temperature, and natural atmosphere. She then translates this live energy directly onto the canvas. Ultimately, her artwork serves as a visual bridge, allowing her to capture these fleeting moments and share her immersive experiences of the natural world with others.
