Ms. Kat Monroe is a unique artist with a flair for transforming run-down household items into unique works of art. She is self-taught and has accumulated many unorthodox techniques through years of trial and error. Her works combine many contradicting elements, such as the fantastical and the mundane, the innocent and the devious. Plastic spiders are framed like precious relics, and rosy-cheeked dolls are stripped of their hair in order to the reveal raw emotion encased in their glass. Japanese beetles and moths found dead …given brightly colored shrines to showcase their beauty.
