email me
So I created an email address for purely artistic use. You can reach me at artbykatsaw [at] outlook [dot] com.
Surgical Saints.
I did these lovely ladies for the Anatomy for Life charity auction. They were a lot of fun to draw and merited a few odd glances from the kids in the classes I was observing at the time. Thus is the nature of art.
Diagnosis offers a hand in blessing for the afflicted, but she can only do so much. Her other cannot help to conceal what is actually going on.
Surgery hides her bloody fingers. Her own halo attacks from many pointed positions.
Recovery holds out her healing hands. Her sacrifice is endless.
"Kathleen Sawyer majored in Printmaking at Rhodes University, but her main focus is on drawing. Her book arts have been exhibited in the 2013 Absa Atelier and not many places else. She likes hideous skin diseases and horrible death."
This is literally all I wrote as my bio for the art auction I submitted to.
I need to get better at this.
Have some zombie girls.

Possibility of prints?
So I’ve had a couple of requests about the making and selling of prints. I have made prints in the past, but these have been more of a ‘once off” where I have been commissioned by someone and then only made one copy of the image for that person (keeping the original for my portfolio).
Because I live in a small town and am required to travel about 150km in order to get to the nearest decent studio, I have not really built up a stock of art in order to sell. However, because of recent interests I am considering doing a small run of editions to test the proverbial waters. Which artworks would you like to see in printed form? Which prints would you buy? Do reply with a title/link so I know exactly what you’re talking about.
Feedback would be wonderful. Thank you~
A little preview of what I’m working on.at the moment. It’s been taking a long time as I have to balance it with all my schoolwork as well … Hoping to submit it to some upcoming exhibition.
Absa L'Atelier
^ The news piece on our university’s Facebook page about the candidates whose work made it through the first selection process for the Absa exhibition.
I told my family about this a while back, yet somehow it is only ‘official’ once they see it on facebook. now they are calling to congratulate me as if they didn’t hear of it almost a month ago
