About Kate Laufert
I am an artist, mom, and wannabe yogi. My family and I have spent the last several years in South America, which has been the greatest influence on my work. It is a world filled with intense color and life. Like me, and my paintings.
I paint with water soluble oil paints because they are healthier for me, my family, and the environment. I frequently use recycled materials, such as cabinet doors and shelves, as surfaces for my paintings. In this way, I give discarded objects new life.
Recently, I was inspired by my son to return to portrait painting. If you would like a portrait of a loved one or yourself (or the two of you!) please contact me at klaufert@gmail.com. I can work from a favorite photo, or if possible, come and take photos myself.
Beautiful job with the new website!
