Katama Murray (she/her) is an eco artist, educator, naturalist, and
small business owner from the small, coastal town of Blue Hill, Maine.
Her work is inspired by phenomenological rhythms of nature and our interconnectedness to the environment. Living and studying throughout various parts of New England, she has always been influenced by the outdoors and the ways in which we coexist with the natural world. Utilizing local, mindfully foraged natural materials, she layers print and fiber processes to visually communicate ideas, observations, and perpetual experimentation. Katama has a BFA in Printmaking from Plymouth State University in New Hampshire and an MFA in Printmaking from Indiana University Bloomington. She has taught workshops and exhibited work throughout New England and beyond, yet will always be drawn to the
beauty of the East coast.

Since starting the Teach Peace Prints journey in 2020, she creates handmade products on paper and fiber using a variety of materials and processes, and continues to experiment with combining techniques while mindfully collaborating with the natural world. Sewn, naturally dyed and printed by hand, TPP offers unique, one of a kind products for those who wish to bring elements of nature into their homes and daily lives. Featuring items such as fabric pouches, bandanas, reusable napkins, pillows, prints and creative supplies for fellow makers, each collection of work is seasonally inspired and based on the importance of place. Tuning into the rhythm of the seasons and the plants that exist within those moments of time help to foster a deeper connection to local surroundings with respect, admiration, and care. Sharing these multidisciplinary techniques to individuals and communities through educational opportunities such as workshops and events is a way to further connect and excite one another through making and learning. With a passion for handmade and slow making, she strives to learn and teach together with people of all ages, hoping to inspire others to become more connected to the earth through the power of art.

BE KIND. SPREAD LOVE. TEACH PEACE.
