When in RomeParis...
Kathleen Larson Latyschow(or Kat as she prefers), has lived, worked and was educated in New Jersey, New York City and Philadelphia. Kat considers herself a ceaseless participant of humanity. She especially enjoys collaborating with other like-minded individuals, awestricken by what creatives can achieve in the arts and architecture, intrigued that so many visionary concepts seem to be derived from nature.
Kat is a self-taught artist and entrepreneur. At a young age she was aware of her over-active imagination and knew her life's path would be in the arts. In Kat's opinion, art can be expressed through anyone and/or anything. She has a curiosity for all mediums and their endless potential. She conveys, “What fun to have no limits, to know that dabbling in a new medium can greatly reward us as artists!”.
Kat’s accomplishments include owning and running a residential/commercial interior design firm, katlarsondesigns. Along the way she has also owned a design showroom in Asbury Park, New Jersey(Coast City Creations) as well as a pop-up gallery in Spring Lake(Coast City Fine Art & Design Studio).

"There are moments where someone or something catches my eye pulling me to pay homage to it , drawing me into creating an emotional feed-back through my art. I think that the creative mind suffocates in a world so overrun with rules and obligations -too many 'shoulds & shouldn'ts', for this reason I believe that an artist needs to be a bit of a non-conformist, finding solace in their own art, where they can feel the most free from external barriers."
