ABOUT ME

Katherine Griffin (that’s me) is a working painter who, over the years, has collected a husband, a 100-year-old home, two little girls, and two of the cutest kittens ever.

 

While she likes to pretend she is from California, she has been living in Utah since she was seven and here has learned to love nature and almost all things outdoors. "Almost" as she has a hard time being cold (oh the irony).

 

She went to school at Brigham Young University for art history, and Utah Valley University for a BFA in painting.

 

It would be hard to grow up in Utah and not be inspired by nature. Wanna go hiking? 15 mins and you are in the mountains. Wanna go skiing? 20 mins and you are at the slopes. However, it wasn't until Katherine was older that she became keenly aware of her effect on nature and the environment at large. This effect found its way into her art.

​

She sees her works as two sides of the same coin. The love of one's pets and the love of our wild friends. Both of whom we need to love, nurture, and protect.
