Kat Bergman
Hollister, California
Artist Kat Bergman paints realistic landscapes, seascapes, and natural scenes, often infused with a sense of serenity. “I’m passionate about capturing emotional moments that reflect the resilience of the human spirit,” says Kat. A lifelong creative, she raised two sons as a single mother while building a successful career in the electronics industry, eventually retiring as a Quality Director in 2015 to pursue painting full-time. Her compositions often begin with personal photography or digitally blended references, though some landscapes are born from memory or imagination. She paints in a bright, organized studio she built inside her home garage. When not at the easel, Kat enjoys reading, baking, and working on a cookbook that pairs favorite recipes with her artwork.
Artist Statement
I believe that the desire to create is a basic human characteristic. It manifests itself in almost everyone, in one form or another. My need is to create art. On a very rudimentary level, I think that the act of creating art is an act of love.
Throughout my life, this need has growled like a deep hunger within, unsettled and always unsatisfied. As soon as it is fed, it always craves more. I am passionate about using my art to capture the emotional snapshots of everyday human life. The sorrows and storms, the beauty and joy, and most of all, the resolute power of the human spirit to overcome. Visualize hope, paint despair, create peace on my canvas: these are my challenges. These triumphs and tragedies can be so easily overlooked and sometimes forgotten, but they are the very fabric and color of our humanity. We can find encouragement in honoring them. By interpreting what I know and feel, I memorialize these moments and make them tangible.
With each piece, there is always some extent of self-discovery and healing that occurs. These passages are naturally infused into my art, and I believe they speak to the viewer. My most sincere desire is to, in some way, enrich other people's lives with my work.
