Knoth believes that everyone can draw if they keep their minds and eyes
open, and that drawing by 'following along' allows one to discover new
ways of interpreting subjects. She expects participants to be able to
work independently for the most part. Knoth, known for her watercolors
of Maine scenes and animal drawings, also gives art workshops for
adults at the library. Her work may be seen at www.catinkacards.com
