It wasn't about 8 months or so when this very bright, talented young artist first stepped into the Pump House Center for the Arts with her family! What a wonderful day that was meeting her, and speaking to her about the Pump House Center for the Arts, our mission along with great conversation about her artwork! Since first meeting Katelynn, it has been an honor to continue working with her and seeing the progression of her artwork! Currently, Katelynn is our featured artist on the Pump House's website!
Here is a little bit about this talented full of life artist! With a bright smile and a heart of gold...
"I think at this point, I've come to realize life is what you make it. But also what you let God make it. I miss my daddy everyday. I absolutely adore my brother Joshua and I couldn't be more proud of ny little sister Sarah ... I'm trying to find myself in Jesus. Right now I'm giving myself permission to love me, and for me to heal. That way, I can love others better. I always want to reflect the character of Jesus ... It isn't always easy ... So, that's that. I am in love with Jesus .. and I think science and God go hand in hand."
Katelynn Ann Tiso was born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts. She started painting during her senior year of high school while she was living in St. Louis, Missouri. To her surprise it became her passion. Today Katelynn is twenty years old and has been painting ever since her senior year.
She has been living in Chillicothe, Ohio for three years. Since living in Chillicothe, Katelynn’s love of God and Jesus Christ has become very strong. Her love for God, and how he speaks through her, is what inspires most of her artwork. Katelynn believes that when she paints rest of the world can take something from it, maybe some peace, freedom, or inspiration for life. She feels at peace when she paints, and she honestly feels closer to God every time she paints.
