Founder & Chief Rhino
I’m Katrine (pronounced Katrina) — an artist since day one. I’ve followed a winding creative path, always making my own work while designing one-of-a-kind programs for schools, organizations, and communities along the way.
As I built my own career, I noticed something missing in the South: real, practical business support for artists. So I created Tiny Rhino Productions — blending thoughtfully curated markets with honest guidance and community, so creatives don’t have to figure it out alone.
I now pour my so-called “magic touch” into Tiny Rhino, mixing creativity, connection, and a deep belief that artists deserve sustainable, lasting careers.
Why a Rhino?
When Tiny Rhino Productions was just a big idea, rhinos started showing up everywhere — like little signs from the universe. A rhino necktie at a thrift store. A wooden rhino sculpture at a boutique. And then more… and more. Wherever I looked, there they were!
Curious, I did a little digging and discovered that rhinoceroses symbolize strength, power, endurance, and resilience — exactly the traits our tribe needs to thrive. And just like that, Tiny Rhino Productions was born.
You know those tiny birds that are always perched on a rhino’s back? Those are oxpeckers. If our new Indie Craft Experience logo feels a little… familiar, that’s on purpose. It nods to those clever little birds as a symbol of the natural partnership between Tiny Rhino Productions and Indie Craft Experience — two forces moving together, supporting one another, and thriving side by side.
