Katherine Klimitas is an aspiring artist who began painting at the age
of five. She often depicts her favorite animals in watercolors and
acrylic, giving them personality and character. Many of her clients
commission her to paint portraits of their pets from photographs.
She also creates lovely pieces of jewelry, generally with semi-precious
stones and sterling silver.

Although Katherine leads a fairly normal life, she has Osteogenesis
Imperfecta (Brittle Bone Disease) and has been wheelchair bound all
of her life. Her art career began at her grade school, Saint Paul's Episcopal, with a very talented and very gifted teacher and mentor. She
graduated locally from Benjamin Franklin High School (ranked the
16th best public school in the nation), and is now a senior at Loyola
University of New Orleans, New Orleans, Louisiana. She is majoring
in Graphic Arts and plans to continue to develop her artistic style
throughout her college career.
