For artist Kathryn Hansen, it has been a very natural journey to blend her love and devotion of animals and nature with her passion for art. They have been powerful forces in her life since childhood and a never ending source of inspiration in her art.
The foundation of her work is in capturing the soul and essence of the animals she draws. She feels that this is best expressed through the simplicity of the pencil, using high contrast and textural variations to achieve a richness and depth to each drawing.
Through her art and actions, she encourages awareness of conservation issues and to assist conservation groups in their effort to save endangered species and preserve their natural habitat. Her desire is to inspire the viewer to realize their connection to all living things, to have positive impact and to become part of the conservation movement so that we can preserve the exquisite complexity of this planet!
