ARTIST PROFILE

Kat Saturn is an artist from Portland, Oregon, specializing in digital collage design, pyrography (woodburning), and guerilla art/culturejamming. Her style reflects a lifelong obsession with mystery and hidden knowledge, as well as a reverence and curiosity for history and culture.

​

The "Ephemera Hermetica" and "Ephemera Aphotica" collage series combine advertising elements from pre-1923 issues of The Oregonian with images scanned from the pages of various alchemical, metaphysical, and scientific texts.

​

Older work reflects an interest in psychedelic and visionary art, compositing photographs with fractal and kaleidoscopic patterns to create unusual color effects and intriguing designs.

​

In 2017, she completed the short documentary "Gladys, Gone Again," telling the true story of a 1920's-era Portland bad girl. Later that year, she participated in the RAW: Fixate group art show.

​

She had her first solo show "Et In Arcana Ego" in October 2018 at Beulahland in Portland.

​

She also plays in the Handbell Choir at First Unitarian Church, and studies folk and classical Indian and Middle Eastern dance.
