Katinka Clementsmith
Social Media Coordinator,
Board Member
Katinka Clementsmith's formal education was in the performing arts and literary arts, but the visual arts are what brings her joy and is where she created her life's work. She is a teaching artist for both children and adults, focusing on painting and helping people who are artists (or not)
enjoy creativity. She teaches regular classes, online and in-person, workshops, and camping paint retreats.
As a teacher, Katinka must work in different paint mediums, styles, and subjects to keep current with her students. This can lead her to discover unexpected new series and passions for herself. She is currently working on a series of small, lonely landscapes in pastels.
Her work can be seen at North Coastal Art Gallery in Carlsbad, Pilapil Gallery in Temecula and Santa Ysabel Art Gallery in Santa Ysabel and at many local art shows and festivals.
Katinka finds Dorland and the artists she has met at Dorland forever inspiring and she enjoys every moment spent there.
