Artist Interview - featured Artist: Katrina Collins

* Where do you get your inspiration from?
I get my inspiration from seeing what other artist are up too and what they are working on. It gives me motivation and makes me want to get involved more; I also get inspiration from a lot of the surf trips I’ve gone on with my partner. He’s taken me to places I probably would never have  gone to normally.
 
* Who is your favourite artist?
My favourite artists: Grahame Sydney: he captures landscapes that are just jaw dropping. Amber Emm: love those flowers!!!!  Salvador Dali: he’s just interesting.
 
* Talk about your art...how do you feel you art has evolved since you first picked up a paint brush? What do you aim to do within your paintings? Are you a 'clean' painter or do you need to get your hands dirty when you paint?
My art has just improved by painting more. I'm always playing around with brush techniques. I do like a clean work space. I can’t work in space that’s messy, I need a clear head.
 
*Are there any exhibition/art event you went to recently that most impressed you and why were you impressed?
The Royal Easter show was good, it always is. I’d like to enter next year.
 
* In your opinion, what makes good art?
Attention to detail

* What do you like most about Kumeu Arts Centre? What would you like to change/improve in Kumeu Arts Centre?

Kumeu Arts Centre, it’s my art place. When I’ve got more time, I'm going to spend it down there for sure. It’s always good to mix with people who are into the same things you are. Also the progress is coming along nicely. It’s good for the community to have these special places. I wouldn't change the arts centre, it’s great! Maybe some more professional artist need to get involved a bit and give it a reputation!!!
 
Katrina's Exhibition will be in place from the 9th to the 31st May 2016
