Kat is a sketchbook-filling digital artist and marine biologist/science communicator/part time largemouth bass in Ontario, Canada.

• What do you do if you’re sad but you’re not the kind of person who thrives on sadness in their art?
• If art is a big part of who you are then making art will (THEORETICALLY) make you feel more like yourself, right?
• Okay but what if you turn to art for relief and it feels BAD?
• How does one refill the creative well in times like these?
