3rd Period Studio

Katherine Huelsing currently resides in St. Louis with Delilah, two dogs, and two cats and has two adult daughters. Art has been her refuge from the world since she was in the fourth grade. When she would be let out from school early each week to take a watercolor lesson, she began to feel happy. Katherine's background is in banking. Katherine sneaked into her business program timetable as many art classes as possible as a business student at Indiana University. While living in Colorado and Chicago, she studied art, worked at a gallery in Chicago, and took classes. Katherine returned to St Louis and enrolled at Webster University, gaining an MA in Teaching in the Arts. She began her second career as a high school teacher after failing in her first career. Katherine taught design, painting, and drawing at the high school level for eight years before transitioning to full-time art. Katherine's business is located in the third Stage of her development. The shop is named 3rd Period Studio and reveals her passion for hockey. Her art education was primarily focused on acrylic and watercolor painting. Fiber art is becoming a more significant part of her artwork after Kansas City Art Institute's Educator ArtLab and the Milwaukee College of Art and Design taught her how to manipulate fabric.
