About KAT ROMANIK ART
About Me ...
I am a Boston based artist, a transplant from the Connecticut shoreline, and so the sea and the shore have always held a special fascination and magic for me. I spend a good deal of time on the Cape and the Vineyard in the warmer months, and set up aroundBoston the remainder of the year.
I am greatly inspired by nature and do my best work “en plein air.” At times when this is not available, I will often take a stroll and capture in images those bits and pieces that inspire me. I return to the studio and let this flow.
I have been creating all of my life, painting for almost 50 years, and selling my works professionally for the past 15 years.
My Style
My work is an extension of the magic in Nature. It is mostly calming and serene, sometimes vast, in vibrant hues of blues and greens, reds, pinks and violets.
My paintings are based largely in a realist orientation, with a touch of whimsy and a nod to romanticism. I also love experimentation, trying new materials and processes..
My main subjects are seascapes, landscapes, florals and still lifes, and a whimsical figure from time to time. I paint mainly in oil and / or acrylics, at times incorporating other materials – gold leaf, beading, glitter, and “found” materials – to enhance and embellish my work.
I am largely inspired by nature and do my best work painting en plein air.
My Process
I AM INSPIRED BY BEAUTY ~ IN ALL ITS FORMS
THIS is the beginning of my process.
I feel I do not pick the subject matter, but rather, it picks me. I then decide on the size, materials, medium, and embellishments ... The colours and the orientation ..
I sometimes do a practice piece in watercolour ... or a quick sketch in graphite or charcoal ~ and sometimes I do not ...
I then take a seat at my easel and just let it flow ...
