Kat Rosaen
Hi, I am Kat Rosaen.
I’m a conceptual artist that tends to navigate projects that involve the exploration of the trauma in my past, present and the environment around me. Through my work I am really digging into my family drama and how it all affected me. My projects are a journey into my psyche and a liberating force of lucidity.
