I AM ART Guatemala In-Country Coordinator
Kathlyn is the wife of Noé and mother of our precious daughter Hadassah. They live in Guatemala. She grew up as an “artist” whether it was sketching during classes, creating bicycles out of twisty-ties or painting rocks. As an adult, she now enjoys painting, drawing, baking exotic things and photography. She is passionate about showing people that they are special. Shortly after moving to Guatemala in 2013, she participated in an I AM ART camps and it was life-changing. Shortly after that, she joined the Athentikos staff in Guatemala to prepare camp details.
Q&A with Kathlyn
What is your favorite type of art and why? OR How have you personally grown through art? I have a hard time determining truly what my favorite form of art is because I hands down love all things creative. However, there is something calming about practicing watercolor and that makes it stand out to me as perhaps the best medium to explore. What is your favorite Athentikos online workshop and why?I really loved the creative journaling workshop Amelia led in the beginning stages of our online journey. Something about the newness of the experience along with the journal approach (and of course use of watercolors) made that particular workshop stick out to me as something super special. What drew you to Athentikos? Athentikos’ approach to missions is unique and unforgettable. An art “therapy” experience taught through the lens of the Bible has great depth and impact on the participant; something I’ve never quite experienced elsewhere. How do you see yourself “BEING ART” in your own family or community? To “be art” to me means to be that which God has created me to be. For me that is a wife, mom and daughter of The King.
