who am I ?

I’m Kate Z (or Kat, if you prefer), and I defy easy characterization;

I used to title myself “MAD SCIENTIST / ART SCHOOL DROPOUT”

which is true


I considered business cards that said “uncategorizable” and just never made any, defying not just characterization but commodification (take that, capitalism)


but I’m an artist obviously, nose to tail, and I’ve come to think of myself as some kind of feral storyteller…


atmospherically, every element of my life: as sure as the earth is warming I will write about it / animate about it / draw or paint about it / collect brass animal bookends about it.



My main focus going forward is stop motion animation which threads together all my passions: writing, art, film, sculpting, decorating, doll photography, making impossibly small clothing, conversing with inanimate objects, and playing with toys.


Thanks for checking out my work!
