Kathryn June Amorastreya, also known as “Ka”
Kathryn June Amorastreya, also known as “Ka”, was born and raised in the high plains of West Texas, where the bleak landscape allowed her imagination to run wild. She was always finding ways to creatively express herself from a young age. Her passion and purpose was ignited when she began studying healing arts, where she discovered the power of healing, and the beauty in helping people improve their quality of life. She worked as a massage therapist for ten years, and sought ways to incorporate this love for healing into her artistic expressions. She began working with natural elements, merging animal medicines and earthen treasures into ceremonial tools, costume and adornment. Picking up the brush and palette for the first time at the age of 22, Ka realized that she had a profound gift. As she taught herself to paint, she began to unveil powerful visions, creating her own unique homage to beauty. Meanwhile, she developed her expressive talents in the performance arts, by studying and performing martial arts, belly dance, fire dance, and ballet. Ka embarked on a monumental journey as she constructed her exquisite, white wings and feathered regalia, then took flight as an international performing artist. She now resides in Asheville, recently transplanted from San Francisco, where she continues painting, dancing, creating as much beauty in the world as possible. She has danced and offered her art at events, festivals, and galleries internationally since 2002. Ka is also a founding director of the Visionary Arts Foundation and the Visionary Arts Academy. Her work has been featured in a number of main stream publications, including US Elle magazine, Paris Vogue magazine, and The Rolling Stone online magazine.
Ka is also a founding director of the Visionary Arts Foundation and the Visionary Arts Academy, and currently serves on the River Arts District Artists board of directors. To view more of Ka's work, please visit her website, www.serpentfeathers.com, and come see the Serpent Feathers gallery and studio in the Cotton Mill Studios in the River Arts District in Asheville, NC.
