Loel Kathmann is a watercolorist and owner of a home-based business in Washington state, called MoR ArtYo. She specializes in quirky and evocative watercolor paintings, especially delicate layered florals and abstracts that tell stories from the heart.

Her training as a scientist is reflected in the experimental and detail-oriented nature of her paintings, and her experience as a mother is reflected in her business name. “Artyo” was her son’s word for “art studio” when he was little, and it stuck.
