About Katherina Joy
Costume designer.
Katherina Joy is a graduate of Rosebud School of the Arts's Theatre Arts program. At Rosebud she had the opportunity to apply theatrical training to her degree in Fashion Design and Apparel Production from MC College. Her training in theatrical design and production practices has already been applied to several student projects. She has also participated in acting and directing training which further developed her love of storytelling. She always seeks to create innovative designs that drive the story forward.
While a background in fashion design makes costumes a natural language for Katherina, she is also interested in furthering her design education by learning props and set design.
As a hobby she is learning graphic art and has begun to expand her entrepreneurial skills by offering her artwork in her Etsy shop "Paper and Kate." She has also illustrated a children's book called "The Father's Song"
Katherina’s Artist’s Statement
I believe that beauty brings healing and story builds bridges. That is what fuels my creative endeavours.
I am a graduate of Rosebud School of the Arts with an FRSA in Theatre Arts. This is a general theatre degree that has exposed me to many different aspects of theatre. I am most interested in design, playwriting, and play production. When not focusing on theatre I write, create graphic art and love to dive into home DIY and crafting projects (in other words I take any opportunity I can to make something out of nothing). Art is how I express myself to the world, how I process my emotions, it helps me remember that I have a voice in a world that can be deafening. Art is also is how I ask questions, and how I like to show people the answers I am struggling with.
I strive to create art that offers wholesome escapism: providing fantastical medicine to a world obsessed with “the real.” I hope that by sharing my art, I will discover the familiarity of my story with the stories of others. In my creative endeavors I hope that a stranger sees themselves and feels seen, finding hope.
