About the artist
Kathryn “Ka” June is a painter, costume designer, and performing artist raised in West Texas, now based in Asheville, NC. Primarily self-taught, Ka draws deeply from her background in the healing arts, weaving themes of nature, spirituality, and beauty into every aspect of her craft.
Her work has been exhibited and performed globally, featured in renowned publications, and celebrated for its evocative, other-worldly power. Since 2017, Ka has worked out of her studio gallery in the Cotton Mill Studios of Asheville’s vibrant River Arts District.
“My art celebrates the beauty I experience in this world and seeks to open hearts and enrich the lives of those who encounter it.”
Artwork Themes & Subject Matter
Kathryn “Ka” June’s creations explore a rich tapestry of themes, including Divinity, raw emotion, healing, animal wisdom, feminine power, spiritual experiences, sacred geometry, and the interconnectedness of all life.
Earlier works prominently featured animals, particularly birds, as symbols of spiritual connection and wisdom. Her performances often reflect this imagery, transforming her into a winged being, part angel, part bird, part woman, adorned in elaborate headdresses and regalia she crafts for ritual dance and performance art.
In her more recent series, Ka delves into deeply personal narratives, transmuting the pain of heartbreak into themes of resilience and self-empowerment. These works blend human and animal forms to tell stories of healing, strength, and transformation. Her latest paintings invite viewers to experience the serenity of meditation and the spaciousness of the mind and soul.
