“Art is not only a passion, but also a way of life.”

My name is Katharina May. I was born in Germany, traveled through Central Africa, Europe and moved to the U.S.A. where I lived in California & Montana and went to Nevada and Arizona. As a result my art has been influenced by these adventures and experiences. My main subjects are our wildlife and environment. I use self-taught methods and techniques for my paintings, as eco friendly bird sand instead of chemical paste. The opportunity to travel and living in different places gave me the chance to develop and refine my style. It also allowed me to discover different cultures and how to see this true world. 

I want to show the beauty of this world, but also the problems we all face. We need to help when help is needed. Do it with small things or even bigger if you can. We have to stop war, deforestation, poaching, animal torture and human abuse! We have to stop killing Phytoplankton by all the plastic trash and micro-plastic in our oceans. I want to give a message, not just a painting. I feel inspired by what I see, want to make people happy with my art and draw attention to our modern problems. I have art in my blood, working as autodidact and I want to bring a little bit more colour and imagination into your home. Some of my artworks goes for donations, to help them who can´t help themselves.
