"The poem "Colors" immediately grabbed my attention as the author's love of color is much like my own. Using bold, vibrant, and sometimes abstract color to convey energy, joy, and love through my compositions is a key aspect of my work.

My goal is always to have others experience my artwork in a joyful way. It is my hope that my work sparks a love of art within the viewer. The poem that inspired this piece felt like another artist expressing the same sentiment through a different format."

Katherine Check is an artist and licensed art educator in the State of Ohio. Her formal training came as she studied Visual Art and Education at Cleveland State University, with a concentration in sculpture. She has taught art in schools in Northeastern Ohio for over a decade, and run an art education company that works with people to develop their own artistic skills. Her mission is to foster a non-judgmental environment that allows ALL people to feel successful and accomplished in the field of art.
Creating and being immersed in the art world has always been her greatest passion. Her work includes compositions in paint, pastel, alcohol ink, collage, and several different sculpture mediums. Diversity within her artwork allows her to challenge herself, develop her technical skills, and keep her work fresh. Use of bold and vibrant colors, combined with texture experimentation is typical of her pieces.
