about: Katherine Dunn is an artist and writer of Apifera Farm, a magical place where art and animals collide.

Katherine began her art career in Minneapolis where she illustrated for clients such as Target, Neiman Marcus, Hallmark, Gourmet, and Wall St. Journal. Her work has received awards from Communication Arts, Print, American Illustration and Society of Illustrators. But writing has always been a passion too and when she moved to her farm in 2004 in rural Oregon, she was surrounded by new animal characters with stories popping up all around her. Her little donkey Pino is a favorite muse and stars in several of her illustrated pieces. He a Katherine Dunn is an artist and writer of Apifera Farm, a magical place where art and animals collide.
