- Katrina Legans
A self-taught artist born and raised in Roanoke, Katrina “Trees” Legans has mastered mediums ranging from airbrushing to acrylic to collage to street art. Legans believes strongly that “it takes a village” and, growing up, her creative inspiration stemmed from the elders, teachers, and youth pastors in the Roanoke community. “I am inspired to utilize the wisdom and skills that I have learned to serve young people—through creativity.”
Her self-portrait she describes as “a beautiful practice of intentional self-love.” While she creates, she reflects on her local community garden, the Carver’s Garden, and how much it has taught her about working together and with the earth to address food insecurities.
