Her work is passionate and personal, and it’s always seen through the intimate eye of longing. She’s more interested in interpreting her world than in documenting it. Her landscapes are populated by trees that can only be described as expressive, by ethereal horses and winsome deer, and by fog that appears softer than the wings of moths. It’s a landscape of romanticism and tranquility, one that remains distinctly earthly while stretching out touching the borderlands of reality. Katya’s eye reflects her native Wisconsin roots. Currently located in Houston, she’s just a girl who loves her camera. She earned her MBA from RICE University after which she discovered that corporate life left her unfulfilled. She decided to take a risk and committed herself fully to photography. Today her clients range from universities to design firms to publishing companies.
