Katrina’s love for art started at a very young age. One day at the age of three Katrina got her hands on a pencil and proceeded to cover her bedroom walls with the most amazing drawings and doodles. Her parents, who were a bit angry because they were renting the apartment and realized they would not get their security deposit back, were amazed at the amount of detail and imagination Katrina showed in the drawings and doodles.
Katrina’s father searched high and low for paper, wood boards, anything Katrina could draw on that would not anger the landlord. He wound up making a deal with the local newspaper. Katrina’s father would perform janitorial services at the local newspaper and be paid in blank sheets of paper of various shapes, sizes and color. He would work at the newspaper until the family immigrated to the United States.
Below is a small sample of Katrina’s drawing. They were found in a box in a back storage room of an abandoned gas station mini mart. Only a small number of drawings were able to be saved and restored.
