Statement
Katherine
Plumer
First Prize Winner * "The Lookouts"
When
you were a child, what did you want to do when you grew up? For me, the dream of being an artist has been
unwavering, blossoming and growing ever since my little hands could use a
crayon. I create art because I can, and
because I love it more than anything else, and because of the indescribable joy
of the moment when a piece that I created I resonates with someone else, and
becomes something that they treasure for the rest of their life.

For
most of my life, I have lived in the town of Wilton, California, a rural area
south of Sacramento. I was raised on a
farm and have always had a passion for nature and birdwatching. The animals that surround and inhabit my life
have a strong influence on the artwork that I create. I aim not only to portray my subject matter
as realistically and accurately as possible, but also to capture the expression
and soul of an animal.

The
work you see here represents a few different techniques and media. Over the years I have explored many ways of
creating art, and currently focus on engraving and drawing. I invite you to visit my website, www.KatherinePlumer.com, or join me on Facebook at
