Kat Janda-DuWaldt
Kat (they/them) is an independent artist and illustrator who fixates on bold shapes and lines. Artistic fixations tend to include : esoteric tarot, skulls, animation, and nostalgic media of the 80s and 90s.
Working primarily in small format to save physical space for other pursuits, they love working on small trading card-size canvases. In digital formats, they run around with Procreate on an iPad, making final touches in Clip Studio Paint on PC.
They are self-taught, and have been making art for others to bring their stories, ideas, and productions to life since 2014.
They work as a dentist in the Fox Valley area of Illinois, and reside peacefully with their spouse and two cats. ♥
