BIOGRAPHY
Waihi Beach Artworx
Katie Des Forges lives at Waihi Beach and has been painting professionally since 2003. Katie pursued art right through school and university. Since having children she found painting a great way to relax and express her feelings and emotions. She is inspired by her love of people and nature. She has an abstract/contemporary style using bright bold colours and symbols. She overlays her paintings with original poetry and often a poignant phrase. Her studio is open to visitors and displays a wide variety of work.
