Katama Murray
Katama Murray (she/her) is an eco artist, educator, naturalist, and small business owner from Blue Hill, Maine. Her mixed media work and company, Teach Peace Prints, are inspired by the phenomenological rhythms of nature and our interconnectedness to the environment. Living and studying throughout regions of New England and the Midwest, she has always been influenced by the outdoors and the ways in which we coexist with the natural world. Utilizing local, mindfully foraged natural materials, she layers print and fiber processes as a way to visually communicate ideas, observations, and perpetual experimentation. Katama has a BFA in Printmaking from Plymouth State University in New Hampshire, and an MFA in Printmaking from Indiana University-Bloomington. She has taught workshops and exhibited work throughout New England and beyond, yet will always be drawn to the beauty of the Northeast coast. Tuning into the rhythm of the seasons and the plants that exist within those moments of time helps to foster a deeper connection to local surroundings with respect, admiration, and care. With a passion for slow, multidisciplinary making, she strives to learn and teach together with people of all ages, hoping to inspire others to become more connected to the earth through the power of art and community.
The four 2-hour classes are opportunities to capture places where you are happy—be that in your den, in your garden, or on the beach. One may choose to work on one painting over the four weeks or multiple paintings. This is a time for you to honor where you live and where you are happy.
Participants are asked to bring their favorite mediums and brushes, plus fresh canvases. I will use gouache and will probably have a dog or two in my paintings!
Messy artists, like myself, should wear an apron or an old shirt.
