My Biggest Passions

Teaching

I have been teaching art for the past 5 years and taught at Chapman, Spartanburg Day School, District One Special Internships, Spartanburg Science Center, and Boys and Girls Club’s after school programs. For the past years, I have been doing Paint Your Pet classes at Paisley Paw and teaching privately as well. I have taught ages 5 to 80 at various skill levels: including painting, clay, print making, and mixed media projects.

Commissions

After leaving the corporate world and a small cottage bread baking business, I decided to go back to my roots and do what I loved: PAINT! The goal was to create a complete body of work, 20 pieces, of just dogs. Seven years and 400 dogs later, I now paint commissions regularly.

Art Camps

As a teacher, these camps will be set up with specific goals in mind. Students will learn step by step how to take their ideas from a thumbnail sketch to a full large canvas. We will work on color, techniques, and art history while we do our research! Because the classes are limited to 4 to 6 students, personal attention to each student’s needs will be met.

Theatre

Ten years ago, I stepped backstage at Spartanburg Little Theatre as a dresser for Irma Vep. Since then, I have worn several hats in the theatre including Assistant Stage Manager, Props Master, Backstage Crew Member, and most recently Scenic Painter.

Katherine has been both a phenomenal friend in my life and an artist who has captured my fur babies in their element and my heart.

The class structure, space and instruction are all first class. I was very pleased with my dog’s portrait. Katherine is an excellent teacher.

Suzanne ModderStudent

I’ve had 3 portraits done of my German Shepherd Dogs and she NAILED every. Single. One. A must for pet owners and no better gift for any pet owners you care about.
