Katrina Still Draws
Katrina Van Strien is an art therapist who still draws. She earned her MA in Counseling with a concentration in Art Therapy at Antioch University Seattle. Before this, Katrina nabbed a BFA in visual communication at Northwest College of Art & Design. She worked for a bit in graphic design & illustration.
She tends to illustrate Filipino things, FOOD, comics with feelings, and whatever she wants.
Katrina has worked with kids, teens, and young adults in public schools, inpatient settings, traditional and virtual offices, along with teen shelters. In whatever role she serves in, she strives to bring as much creativity as possible.
You can catch her camping out in a cute coffeeshop, flipping through picture books while sitting on the floor, laughing at comedy specials, or wandering around a local market.
