Hi there! I’m Kate, a nonbinary artist, mom of two, sarcasm aficionado, and socially awkward coffee junkie. I make paintings that are complex & layered, and show glimpses of hidden weirdness underneath (just like all the most interesting people).

I believe that everyone deserves to have original art in their lives and in their homes. That’s why I always offer originals in a large range of sizes, to fit your life and your budget.

Visit the shop to find available originals, subscribe to my newsletter to be the first to learn about new releases and events, and follow along on social media for studio updates!

A little about the art:

I am a mixed media artist, and I work primarily in acrylic and spray paint, with things like embroidery mixed in every so often. Experimenting with mark making and the contrast of textures has become a bit of an obsession, so I paint with literally anything and everything I can get my hands on. This could be anything from brushes and palette knives, to chopsticks, spatulas, and old credit cards.

Lately I’ve become fascinated with how much of ourselves we share with the world, and how comfortable we are with peeling back the layers to reveal our true selves. Some people are an open book, and others keep their unique weirdness to themselves except for glorious little glimpses. A lot of this has made its way into my work lately, in layers of chaotic color, partially obscured and then scratched away to reveal glimpses of the hidden depths underneath. They are complex and layered, just like all the most interesting people.
