🪶Watch Me Paint Some Egrets! | Watercolor Art Inspired by Louisiana’s Unique Birds #neworleans

FUN FACT: Did you know that in the 19th and early 20th centuries, egret plumes were worth more than gold?

Egret feathers were used in women’s fashion, leading to mass hunting. This caused an enormous decline in egret populations and eventually helped spark the modern day bird conservation movement!

About Me: Hi, I’m Katherine Klimitas—artist, speaker, author, and graphic designer from New Orleans, Louisiana. I was born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), also known as Brittle Bone Disease, and I get around in an electric wheelchair. I started KAK Art & Designs during my senior year at Loyola University, and I’ve been creating ever since.

My journey has shown me that no matter the challenge, you can do anything you set your mind to. From painting and custom pet portraits to jewelry and public speaking, I’m passionate about sharing creativity and bringing people joy.
