Meet Katherine Setzer a very talented Greeting Card Artist and more!

Kathrrine Setzer is known as Katherine the Great! She has had a lifelong love with the subject of Art since the age of four years old drawing and designing clothes for her Barbie dolls.

High school through college, she chose to sculpt clay making such challenging sculptures as Egyptian masks, life-size head of an African woman, recirculating Egyptian pool/bath of the Great Sphinx, and other creative items.

Then sketching, life drawing, painting, collage work, stage design, stage makeup and making costumes; apprenticing for the Arizona State Treater Department and the Arizona Ballet Costume Department. 

Then making a ”copy” of Grace Kelly, Princess of Monaco’s wedding gown with a skirt improvement (making a both the long skirt of the gown with a change of an additional short skirt for dancing) for her to wear at her own wedding.

The major influences upon Katherine’s flare for design came from her Mother and in turn, from her Grandmother.  Tutoring with foreign-born fashion designer, Galina, also professor at Phoenix College taught her the art of draping, tailoring, stitchery, etc.

Arizona State College and Northern Arizona University has given her the degrees in, Fashion Design; Fashion Merchandising and French.

Katherine’s forte comes by way of the “Century Marks” loving the Egyptian, Renaissance, Victorian Eras then rounding it out with the 1900’s through the 1940’s, and now modern day bringing the love and joy of beautiful papers, design, style, brilliance, paint, finite cutting style using both scissors and a die cutting machine to collage images of love and joy to the recipient of her beautiful cards and paper items.
