Malerei, Zeichnung, Druckgrafiken uvm.
Kunst ist etwas, das mich erdet, es ist nicht immer einfach, den Weg eines Künstlers
zu wählen, aber es ist auch ein Privileg, wenn man dieses Gefühl in sich trägt und
die Entscheidung trifft, ihm zu folgen. Wann immer ich Zeit mit Malen verbringe, weiß
ich, dass es gut investierte Zeit ist und dass ich mich danach gut fühlen werde.

Interview
KATIE PICKERELL - DEINE LIEBLINGSKÜNSTLER
1. Was ist Kunst für dich?
Art is something that grounds me, it’s not always easy to choose the path of an artist but it is also a privilege if you have that feeling inside and you make the decision to follow that. Whenever I spend time painting I know that it is time well spent and that I will feel good after.
2. Wie bist du zur Kunst gekommen? Liegt Kunst bei dir in der Familie?
There was not really art in my family but definitely my mother is very creative in a lot of ways and I get that from her, there was always space and time to get creative and I just loved it from really early on, I was really shy as a child so it was kind of a refuge. I think I really started to paint when I was 15 or 16 years old and I would just stay up all night and paint in my bedroom.
3. Hast du ein Programm oder verfolgst du ein bestimmtes Ziel mit deiner Kunst?
For me it is related very much to healing and feeling grounded. I realised this is my relationship to the process which I only realised recently. I don’t want to say that I can or want to heal the world through my art because that is way too much responsibility but sometimes it is opening up important conversations or encouraging people to look at things in a different way.
4. Was machst du, wenn du Kunst und Design ruhen lässt?
I like to be with people and I like to be in nature and I write alot and do other things so actually it never really ends. Sometimes I am lucky enough to dream about painting which is great because my subconscious mind has just done the work for me. So yeah there is not really ever a break, sometimes I intentionally put myself on an art ban but then these are also the moments where golden nuggets of inspiration actually come, when you take a step back.
5. Wie beginnst du ein neues Kunstwerk?
Sometimes they just pop into my head, a title or a vague composition, then I draw it first then I paint it so I always know what the next steps are. When there are times that they don’t just pop up it either means I need to work differently, like with my hands or digitally, or that I just need to get away from the studio, then they come
again.
6. Was brauchst du unbedingt, um kreativ tätig zu sein?
I need some structure around being creative, I would love sometimes to be creative all day long but if I don’t tend to other stuff in my life it doesn’t flow as freely as I would like, I speak in terms of self care and keeping my mind and space clear
7. Wann stand für dich fest, dass du Künstler werden willst?
I think during college I was studying biology, languages and maths and I had one art class and it was the thing I looked foward to the most. I was always interested in other academic subjects but I just knew deep down that I wanted to go to art school.
8. Tauschst du dich gern mit den Betrachtern deiner Werke aus?
Yes, I think the conversation about the work is so important and it is also why I make art, to start conversations. I know what it is about for me and sometimes I want to reveal the whole story and sometimes I don’t and that’s also ok. What Is most interesting is to see what other people’s interpretations which are equally as valid as what it means to me because it is how they experience it.
