Ep. 131: Kat Knutsen

Welcome painter/muralist/art instructor, and production artist on Loving Vincent, Katherine "Kat" Knutsen to In-Focus Podcast Number 131! Kat was our guest on In-Focus Podcast Number 73. This time, she's speaking with our intrepid Indie Music Host – Scott Bishop about her musical side! Since childhood, Kat has always loved working with her hands. Kat Knutsen survived asthma and brain cancer growing up, which initially led to her nursing studies. She quickly learned it wasn't for her during the clinical portion of her education. While leaving the nursing field, she was serendipitously introduced to the Fine Arts by a friend in sociology class. Kat says, "What drew me to this field was the impact of seeing my soon-to-be painting professor turn magic into a rational process. Something in me lit up!" Kat decided to learn about art and to teach others ways to engage with the art-making process. Her art is now about, "reflecting and interpreting events around me." Listen in on this conversation as The Artist Index's Indie Music Host – Scott Bishop delves more into Kat's musical life, work, and future ambitions.  The In-Focus Podcasts offer you up close and personal conversations with the makers, performers, supporters, and cultural impresarios of this remarkable creative community. Join us as we speak with and listen to the creative community's living visual, performing, and literary artists. Music courtesy of Scott Bishop
