Windows By Kaitrin

I call my art ‘Windows by Kaitrin’ because windows go both ways. They allow me to look out to the world, but they also allow you a glimpse into my peaceful world.

I have always been captivated by intricate detail, pattern and repetition. I tend to fill the entire space because I like the dramatic effect of the black and white patterns that are created. My whimsical drawings of hidden sanctuary places are created with pigment ink-based pens of various point sizes and often have underlying themes of acceptance, equality and social responsibility.

I see my 'Aspergers' as a gift and a positive influence on my art. Just like my curly hair, it is a part of me. It shapes my personality and the way I view the world. Through my art, I hope to encourage others to celebrate their strengths and cherish their differences.

Thank you for viewing my artwork and I would be pleased if you could take a moment to add a comment to my guestbook below.

Hello Kaitrin !
very revealing talk on the programme "ideas" from a symposium. I heard it at 9:30 pm PST Friday sept 23 2011.

It stopped me in my tracks, not due to your initial point of being (maybe not initial) a person with
aspergers.
It was when you were talking about the safety of the dark night and the peace.
Yes the peace. This helped me understand my position of being one noctournal fellow who happens
also to be an artist. Difference is Gender. It helped me to see I prefer to walk, create, think, explore
in the time when most are fast asleep. I never thought it odd, but some people do. It helped me understand
I do it to seek peace. Your drawings certainly convey this. They are magical and certainly show a world you have
created oh so clearly. I also appreciate your photos. One of you and Temple Grandin. I had never heard of
Temple and it's extradordinary. Peace from Vancouver Island.

Kaitrin,

I heard you speaking on CBC Radio during an Ideas show. I had to come see your work online. Beautiful work, imaginative, magical and labour intensive! Wonderful creativity!

Great to meet you last night Kaitrin at the Mayors Celebration of the Arts, in Cambridge. I really enjoyed looking at your portfolio of work! I have a deep love of pattern too.
Best,
