"Ms.Kat Monroe is a unique artist with a flair for transforming run-
down household items into unique works of art. She is self-taught and
has accumulated many unorthodox techniques through years of trial and
error. Ms. Monroe is most well-known for her “shrines,” mixed-media
assemblages consisting of porcelain doll parts, old toys, and cutlery
among other miscellany. She also produces collages and paintings, most
of which are comprised of gouache, melted beeswax, and ironic sayings
pulled from 50’s children’s readers. Her works combine many
contradicting elements, such as the fantastical and the mundane, the
innocent and the devious. Plastic spiders are framed like precious
relics, and rosy-cheeked dolls are stripped of their hair in order to
the reveal raw emotion encased in their glass eyes."
