Katina balances work as both a painter and a sculptor.  Images grow from her meditative sketching technique to develop interest and visual strength.  These images are most often abstract in nature although occasionally representational work presents itself.  The paintings and sculptures that result from these sketches range through interpretations of political climates, human interactions, and her personal experience.  Most often the work is open to the viewer’s frame of reference.

Katina earned a Master’s degree in Art education from the University of Georgia and spent many years in Atlanta before moving back to Ohio.  Art has been a lifelong passion for her and, in addition to teaching art in public schools, she taught children’s art and craft classes for various community organizations as a teenager and adult community classes as young wife and mother.

Along with several group exhibitions, she has had several solo exhibits including  2016 Red Twig Gallery, Hudson, OH; 2014 Hudson Fine Art Gallery, Hudson, OH; 2012 Akron Woman’s City Club Gallery, Akron, OH; 2011 Summit County Offices Gallery, Akron, OH; 2011 Akron Bar Association Gallery, Akron OH; 2010 Hudson Fine Art Gallery, Hudson, OH; 2010 Studio 2091 Gallery, Cuyahoga Falls, OH; 2010 The Box Gallery, Akron, OH; 2008 City Art Gallery, Cuyahoga Falls, OH; 2006 Strawberry Fields Gallery, Alpharetta, GA; 2004 Good Karma Gallery, Buford, GA.  Katina works in her studio in downtown Akron, often creating work on commission.
