| Introduction | Katrina has an innate sense of colour and harmony and enjoys expressing herself through art, using bold colours shapes and lines. Katrina has an intellectual disability and is also deaf and whilst she uses signing to communicate, art has become an important way for her to communicate her thoughts, feelings and ideas to others. She gets great joy from sharing her work with other people and seeing their reactions to what she creates. Katrina works with a variety of techniques including acrylics, textiles, pastel painting and recently wire sculptural forms. Katrina creates her art in a variety of places. The Community Art Room has been a space where Katrina has been able to pursue her artistic ideas with other likeminded people. Being an artist brings Katrina great joy and satisfaction. It helps her to communicate and express her feeling and thoughts with other people. Through her art she is able to connect with the world in a way that enhances her communication with those around her. For Katrina, art has become her voice and that voice is inspiring and beautiful. |
