Katy Nygard
Gallatin Gateway, MT
My work is inspired by nature’s color and pattern, by lines in ancient symbols and language. I am increasingly interested in negative space and aspects of what may not be readily seen as I believe there’s always more to the story. I use materials often discarded as a way of honoring the whole and find such practice offers a deeper appreciation for life’s many layers.
