Dawn Kathryn's Story

I'm Dawn Kathryn, and I'm an artist based in Northern California.  I'm always a work in progress - growing and changing.  I love to knit and crochet, and when I'm not making something I can wear, I'm yarn bombing!  I love illustrating, and my illustrations always end up containing yarn or crafting elements.  I create art to share my view of the world, and I hope that my illustrations connect with people.  

I create in my home studio (and sometimes on my couch :)).  All of my designs are printed on fair trade, organic cotton bags that are custom bags for me.  The bags are printed in small batches by me, and sometimes with the help of a friend.

My artistic process can start from either a clear image in my head or from a concept.  In either case, I bring it to life by starting from a pencil sketch.  Once I am happy with it, I will turn the sketch into an ink drawing, which I then convert into a screen for printing.
