Welcome - About the Artist



Hi, my name is Katie Kronheim! I am currently a student at the University of Tampa studying biology for secondary education. I wish to be an environmental science or biology teacher. 

In addition to my studies, I am an equestrian. My horse, Armani, is a ten year-old Rheinland Pfalz-saar International warmblood. We compete in Hunter and Equitation divisions at rated horse shows throughout Florida. The hunter division is judged on the horse where as the equitation division judges the rider. On top of all that, I am a part of the University of Tampa Equestrian Team. My job is Horse Show Coordinator which means I ensure that all our team riders are prepared for the horse show as well as organizing our transportation and hotel stays to and from the horse show locations. 

When I am not riding at the barn, I am spending time with my dog Kona. She is a four year old American Staffordshire terrier and boxer mix. Kona spends a lot of time with me at the barn as well as trips to the dog beach on weekends. 

I am currently enrolled in a digital design course. I am incredibly excited about this course because I have always had an interest in digital art as well as animation. I believe this class will help me be a better teacher because I will be able to create and design my own diagrams and other teaching material. Being able to create my own resources in the classroom can help my students understand and grasp concepts that might otherwise be complicated without a visual representation. I'm incredibly excited to learn how to use applications such as illustrator and photoshop. This blog will contain all my work as well as artist statements and reflections on my pieces. Thanks for stopping by!!
