About Katrina
Creative Director by day and paper maché artist by night, Katrina Wheeler finds inspiration in anything that walks, crawls, or flies. Dogs, cats, rabbits and bugs have all taken a turn as her muse. Using upcycled cardboard and paper packaging, she creates sustainable art and enjoys bringing every sculpture to life through color and experimentation. She is a nerd for oddly-shaped boxes and dreams of what she can make with them. She loves the smell of paper. She has hot-glued her hands together more times than she can count. In a past life, she has been an illustrator, web designer, and paper engineer creating paper toys for kids as featured in Papermania!. She currently teaches Make a Paper Maché Dragon Head on Creativebug, with more classes coming soon! Katrina lives with her husband, her daughter, a very fat cat and a puppy in Vancouver, Washington, where they love making things together.
