Katherine Urban

Hi everyone!  Katherine here and I am a watercolor artist based in north Texas. As a Florida native, the ocean is a central theme throughout my work. I have loved both art and the ocean for as long as I can remember. Growing up my favorite place was at the beach or in the water. In college, I briefly thought I would go into oceanography, but I just could not let art go. I majored in art education at Florida State University and discovered a love for teaching. Once I graduated, I left the beach behind and moved to Texas where I have been teaching art ever since. Although I have been creating art in one form or another for most of my life, it has only been in the last several years that I have had the time to create art for myself. 

Watercolor is my escape, my calm moments in my busy life. In addition to ocean themes, I love to paint landscapes of the nearby farmland. As an artist, I try to capture the undisturbed beauty of nature, a place where the chaotic world can be forgotten, even if only for a moment.
