Bio
Katherine Klimitas is a New Orleans-based
artist and designer who sold her first watercolor at age 10. As the daughter of
veterinarians, Katherine expresses her family’s lifelong love of animals
through her meticulous life-like paintings. She earned a B.A. from Loyola
University in 2011; at age 33, she runs her multifaceted business, KAK ART
& Designs, from home. When clients learn that Katherine has Osteogenesis
Imperfecta, also known as brittle bone disease, they are captivated by her
unique perspective. She and her parents stopped counting her broken bones at
500 at age 10. She’s 2 feet 7 inches tall, gets around in an electric
wheelchair, and creates all her art, jewelry, and commercial graphic design while
lying on her side.
