Senior Art Exhibition

Senior Art Exhibition - 2011

Kateri Tolo is a graduate of Belhaven University in 2011 with a major in Visual Art. She grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota at the other end of the Mississippi River, not knowing that God would have her follow it southward. As an artist she seeks continually seeks to create as a manner of worship and bring the viewer to a greater knowledge of God’s plan and promise for his people. She hopes that through her work she can help others to see, not only in the tangible sense, but also in the spiritual. “Everything I make breaks at one time or another in the making,” she says. “My hope is that as I work, toil, fail, and succeed, those who come in contact with me would see God’s provision and strength in all my weaknesses.”

Kateri was honored as the Freshman Art Major of the Year her first year at Belhaven; in 2010 she received the Research Club Scholarship Award from the Visual Art Department. She currently works as the elementary art teacher at Jackson Academy.
