Katerina Pravda

Toronto-based contemporary visual artist Katerina Pravda creates environmentally-driven works characterized by bold color combinations and sensitively rendered subjects - chiefly animals, people, and their environment. Stylistically, Katerina's work often melts between the real, imagined, and surreal, creating an atmosphere that invites introspection and the shifting of personal perspectives. Both in her art and beyond, she is driven by the desire to restore harmony between people and animals in order to protect endangered species and their habitats, creating a beautiful world for all.

Katerina Pravda received her BFA with Distinction from Mount Allison University, Canada's top undergraduate university. She also studied at the University of Newcastle in Australia during an international exchange. She has been exhibiting since 2013 and was awarded the prestigious Murray Jacob Clerkson Award in 2015. Her artwork can be found in private collections throughout North America, Europe and Australia.
