Kat Kleinman
Biography
Kat specializes in floral collages, because the individual flowers combine to create a new and cohesive form, reflective of the healing process. She takes her own photographs, which is important to Kat, because it separates the integrity of her work from those who use more impersonal internet downloads as a source. Each flower is hand cut, a process she calls meditative, and a single collage may require dozens of individual blossoms.
Kat is enthusiastic about the potential for color to positively influence emotions, ultimately leading to better relationships between people. Her work is featured in numerous books and magazines, and will next be seen in the August 2021 edition of Southern Times Today (Harbour Publications). Kat’s work has been seen in international exhibitions in Tokyo, Barcelona, and Hong Kong.
Artist Statement
Art allows me an avenue to express my hope for the world. I am a photographer and collage artist, focusing on unique floral and succulent compositions, because they symbolize my enthusiasm for using color to bring about positive changes, starting from within.
The intention of my work is to make people feel better, even for a moment. I often use dozens of flowers in a single collage, a process that is both meditative and inspirational.
The beauty of a floral collage represents healing, because fractions of color combine to create a new cohesive form. I am dedicated to creating art inspired by compassion, meditation and right action.
