About
Katherine Cruse has lived in multiple places around the country and in the mountains where the beauty of nature inspired her. She began painting after moving to Dayton in 2005, taking classes at Rosewood Art Centre and Sinclair Community College. She is an active member of the Dayton Society of Artists. She works in oil and acrylic with palette knife and blades.
“I am a painter, a writer, a lover of the outdoors. I’ve lived in various parts of the United States, much of it in the mountains of Colorado, where I skied, backpacked, and whitewater rafted.”
artist statement:
“I am inspired by the vastness of natural world, especially visions of sky and trees. I am constantly trying to capture the grandeur and the color of the landscape with images suggesting horizons and a sense of what lies beyond. My style is evolving to include more abstract work. And sometimes, cats!”
