Art At Emmaus Public Library: Meet Kat Collins

Press release from the Emmaus Public Library:

February 4, 2022

Even though Kat Collins has been drawing and creating for as long as she can remember, and got a degree in Fine Arts, becoming a professional artist didn’t just come naturally. She had to navigate through grad school, burnout, and six years in the wine industry before finding her footing.

Recently, she told us more about her background, her art, and how it helps her deal with being an empath …

What’s been your hardest challenge, and how did you overcome it? What successes or achievements are you most proud of? What’s your advice for anyone who wants to explore art, but can’t seem to find the time or feels intimidated by a blank canvas? just do it! [You can learn more about Kat Collins and view more of her work at her website and Instagram.]

ART@EPL is the library’s exciting partnership with the Lehigh Art Alliance and the Lehigh Valley Arts Council. The series is funded through a grant from PA Partners in the Arts, making it possible for area residents to enjoy free art lectures and workshops from local artists working in pastels, charcoal, sculpture, and watercolor among others.

Visit the ART@EPL page to see all the artists who have led workshops and exhibited work at the library as part of ART@EPL.
