I am an active member of Urban Sketchers organisation since 2019 and co-admin of Polish Urban Sketchers Chapter since 2021. I frequently travel solo with sketchbook to observe and present the places I visit, but I also attend and organize urban sketching meetings in Poland, where I live.
My digital art projects are focused on experimenting. I create maps from my trips, series of themed illustrations and short stories. The ability to undo any change gives me freedom to try styles and color combinations before I use them in my traditional artworks.
In my art I use and mix various traditional art media: mainly watercolor and colored pencils. Recently I discovered my passion for gouache and inks, so I switch my materials pretty frequently. I'm a fan of trying different mediums and approaches instead of perfecting one.
I've always loved books and admired people who are able to create and communicate their own stories. After years of practicing art, I finally feel confident enough to try telling stories with my creations. I'm currently working on my first illustrated book "Rooted in Nature", which will introduce readers to the Slavic pagan traditions.
Hello, traveler! I'm Katarzyna Kosiak, an artist who likes to dabble in different mediums and forms of visual arts. I grew up in Northern Poland but moved to the beautiful city of Kraków in 2013 to pursue studies in applied computer science. After living there for almost ten years, I finally achieved my dream of fully remote work. I hope to keep traveling during winters and staying in Poland during warmer seasons. I'm currently based in Toruń, Poland. Art has always been a part of my life, although there was a few-year-long period during my early twenties when it wasn't one of my priorities. After finishing my studies, I once again had more time to create art, and since then, it has been an important element of my weekly routine. These days, I mostly practice urban sketching and I'm an active member of Urban Sketchers organization, but I'm also developing my personal projects - maps from my travels, short stories, and the biggest project so far: my first book, "Rooted in Nature", which is available on Amazon in English and Polish. My other interests include language self-study (currently learning Korean and Spanish), biking, and fulfilling my dreams of traveling the world.
