Katerina was born and raised in Riga, Latvia. She says, the fact that her mother was an artist explains why she started to paint before she could walk.

Throughout high school, art class was always a must and as soon as her final year had finished she enrolled at The Art Academy of Latvia, specializing in Textile Art. Her tertiary studies earned her a Master of Arts in Humanities, before she went on to achieve a Master of Education at the Daugavpils University.

​

Katerina is an Internationally Exhibited artist with her works hung in galleries in  Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Finland, Russia, Belarus, Austria, Germany, and now Australia.

In 2014 she migrated here with her family and has since immersed herself into the Australian art community. She is now a member of the Central Coast Art Society.

She has exhibited at Erina Fair Library, Central Coast Art Society Summer exhibition 2015,  Glass Artists Gallery (Sydney, Glebe), Brunswick Street Art Gallery (Fitzroy, Victoria), Central Coast Art Society Winter exhibition, Ruby Samadhi gallery LOVE exhibition, Art Asia Gallery in Terrigal, TASTY DIVINE exhibition in Sky Fire Studio Gallery (Leichhardt, Sydney), ”Review” exhibition (Glebe Street Fair, Sydney), Central Coast Art Society Summer Exhibition, Gosford Regional Gallery 2016.
