My name is Kat Newell (born Dohnalova in Prague), also known as "nanokatka", thanks to my 20+ year career in nanotechnology research. I started with fine arts at art-specialized high school with further short classical fine arts training at Academy of Realist Arts in Edinburgh, Academy of Visionary Arts in Vienna and these days sparsely practicing and learning from amazing Dutch portraitist Irma Braat. Leaving research career behind in 2021, I have finally settled in a part-time lecturing job at AUC, which allows me to give art more time. I mostly enjoy the classical oil painting technique, but often chose to work with digital tablet instead when it is more convenient. Some of my older art is done with fractal designer Mandelbulb 3D or with Blender. My artistic goal is to use the illustrative and sometimes as realistic as possible painting techniques to give life to unreal and alternative creatures, landscapes and realities, and recently I discovered passion for painting animals :-).
