Katherine Dunn is an artist/writer who works from her Apifera Farm, floating somewhere off the mid coast of Maine.
She began her career in ceramics. In 1996 she became an illustrator in her homeland of Minneapolis where she worked with national corporations.
But it was when she moved to Oregon in 2002, and then to her farm Apifera that art and writing began to merge with her animals and farm. She began to write/illustrate memoirs of her life with animals. Much of her work is laced with lessons of grief and aging, nature as teacher and the knowledge that we are all connected.
After relocating to Maine in 2016, Apifera became a non profit so Katherine could continue taking in the needy old animals. She shares them on healing visits to elder homes and at the farm.
In late 2024, Katherine came full circle and began working in clay again.
