T here are no rules to art, and there are no rules to self- expression. In a world of rising consumption and mass production, Katarina Tifft has found the golden ratio to create something meaningful and sustainable. Among the side effects of consumerism is the depletion of natural resources and pollution of the earth. This artist has adopted an eco-conscious lifestyle, practicing her art through organic materials and playing with the shells so naturally, like she was born for this. From a young age, Tifft had an eye for the arts. “I was always creative and passionate about anything that intrigued my mind and soul,” she recalls. Before choosing the artistic road, she studied Civil Engineering, majoring in water management.
