Bio
Katie Kron is a visual artist, educator, and studio manager. Her visual artwork includes video, installation, sculpture, painting, mixed media, fiber arts, and ceramics. While her past projects focused on a personal appreciation of beauty and challenging cultural schemas, her current projects explore what it means to reconnect with oneself while moving through realms of emotion, play, and spirit while experimenting with themes of degradation, life cycle, bodies, and waste.
