WHERE ART MEETS STORY

Step into a world where art is only the beginning.

I’m Kat von Hacke—an Appalachian artist, author, storyteller, and Georgia Master Naturalist inspired by forests, wildlife, folklore, and the magic hidden within the natural world.

Where Art Meets Story is an interactive exhibit that invites you to look a little closer. Each piece holds something more—a story, a memory, a bit of folklore, a lesson from the natural world, or perhaps a secret waiting to be discovered.

Explore the artwork below to journey deeper into each piece. Discover the landscapes and wildlife that inspired it, uncover hidden details and symbolism, hear the stories behind its creation, and learn how art can become a doorway into the places we love.

There is no single path through the exhibit.

Choose a piece. Follow your curiosity. See where the story takes you.
