About the Artist
Hello, I'm Katherine Tolve, a mixed media artist passionate about the limitless possibilities of salvaged materials. My creative journey is a fusion of traditional and unconventional mediums, where the discarded finds new life in my hands.
In my work, you'll discover a tapestry of materials – buttons, beads, fabric reclaimed from interior design remnants, vintage books, weathered magazines, and even repurposed paint. These elements, each with its own history and character, form the foundation of my artistic expression.
What drives me isn't just the pursuit of a finished image; it's the exhilarating exploration of these diverse materials and their transformation. I find beauty in the unexpected, and my art is a testament to the extraordinary stories hidden within everyday objects.
My portfolio is a kaleidoscope of subjects, ranging from serene landscapes to vibrant florals and abstract compositions. What unites them is my unwavering curiosity and the desire to push artistic boundaries. I'm not simply a painter; I'm an alchemist, weaving together threads of the past and present to create something entirely new.
Welcome to my world of mixed media, where the mundane becomes extraordinary, and every piece invites you to join me on this adventure of discovery. Thank you for embarking on this artistic journey with me.
