Inspired by anatomy and biology, Kaitlin Waldera uses pattern, texture, and transparency to create works of art that draw the audience's attention to their anatomy, health, and world around them. Waldera utilizes layers on multiple surfaces that interact with each other via their transparent nature or cutting away information to reveal what is below. Waldera is currently working with digital media but loves experimenting with printmaking, fiber arts, and mixed media. When not working digitally Waldera works toward creating art objects that convert the disturbing quality of our insides into something the audience wants to touch and handle.

 

After growing up in Minnesota and getting a liberal arts education she became interested in how art and science interact. The goal of her work is to create a transition between the scientific world and the natural world.
