Katy Ladew Artist Statement
A native of Switzerland, Katy Ladew moved to the United States in the 1970's and has lived in Aurora since 2005. She was motivated to create coffee-pod art in February of 2018, when the shiny, metallic colors of the pods (and the terrible weather!) inspired her to create a warm ocean scene.
Realizing how closely the pod colors resemble a bird's plumage, Katy then moved on to a series of birds, eventually branching out into other animals: frogs, cats, and even a hedgehog.
After gifting many of her pictures to family and friends, Katy commissioned a set of greeting cards so she could keep a copy of some of her favorite creations.
After seeing the finished proofs, a local retailer expressed interest in carrying them in his store, and Koffee Byrds officially went commercial. We hope her whimsical creations bring both the sender and receiver happiness and well-wishes!
Please join us for Dabbles art reception at TGP East on Saturday, February 24th from 12:00 - 2:00pm.
