Katie MacIain

A self-taught artist, MacIain's style includes using a solid foundation of values (shadows and highlights) to emphasize the painting's main subject. 
She enjoys using colors, along with brush strokes or perhaps an added touch of a palette knife, to help accent the focal point.
MacIain explores the great outdoors and spends much time studying nature, lighting, and simple shapes or forms.  

"Sometimes it's the very first, tiny, drop of light at daybreak, or smallest last light at sunset that grabs the most of my attention."
