Hi there! I’m Kat Sanders, and I run The Painted Kat. This is a space where art, imagination, and a bit of whimsy come alive. Whether you’re here for ideas, to see my creations, or to connect, I’m so glad you’re here.
A Little About Kat Sanders and The Painted Kat
Art has always been a big part of my life. From doodling in notebooks to making junk journals and painting colorful scenes, creativity makes me happy. I’ve worked with many tools like acrylics, watercolors, digital art, and mixed media. Every project feels like a fun new challenge, and I love seeing where my ideas lead.
When I’m not in my studio, I love reading fantasy novels or learning about old-fashioned clothing and steampunk styles. I also spend time making miniatures and dollhouses or playing with Legos, with and without my grandchildren. These moments bring me joy and inspire my art.
Nature, myths, and fantasy inspire my work. I love the shapes and patterns in leaves, the beauty of ancient forests, and the magic of myths from around the world. I also enjoy finding symbols in art and nature, using them to tell stories in my creations. Each piece I make celebrates the beauty and mystery of these ideas.
