ABOUT ME

Hi,

 

I'm Kathrin Wilfong, a German-American illustrator, currently living with my family in Munich, Germany. I'm a proud mom, happy wife and animal lover... the latter surely comes across through my choice of subjects!

 

Initially inspired by the creative energy in my family during early childhood and my continuous thirst for creative projects and ways to express myself, I have developed over the years from a creative self-taught artist, by means of additional seminars and certifications, to a professional illustrator and artist - thus, turning my talent and passion into a profession. 

 

I'm known for my detail-loving artwork exploring either the relationship between nature / organic matter and geometric patterns or the manifold possibilities and delights of black & white ink illustrations. ​When creating artwork, I mostly work with traditional mediums, such as watercolor, acrylic paint, alcohol-based markers , colored pencils and/or archival ink on paper or canvas. I enjoy using mixed media to a great extent in my artwork. 

 

Generally, I very much enjoy working with analog tools and materials as it simply feels more authentic to me. I enjoy the haptic and sensual quality of analog artwork over 100% digitally composed, purely on-screen artwork and illustrations. However, I do appreciate the advantages digital tools provide and use these as I see fit for a project, e.g. to transfer my analog work to the digital realm. A savvy mix and creative use of both, digital and analog materials, tools + approaches yield truly amazing results.

​

While my experience revolves around, for instance, hand-drawn ink collages, stationery, patterns as well as other personalized artwork, I'm eager to explore new projects that resonate with my personal inspirations and style. So, whether you're looking for an editorial illustration or a cheerful depiction for a children's book... don't hesitate to reach out!

Kathrin
