about
Katie’s art focuses on creating soulful pieces while working in a meditative flow state.
Her work utilizes layering color and gestural marks. She relies on music, joy, and visceral experience to influence her work. When she is receptive she channels source energy to create marks on the substrate with her eyes closed, truly letting go of all inhibitions and using these marks to guide and influence the composition. When truly open to receiving this energy, the visually blind, yet spiritually informed marks always deliver.
It is her hope that if a work speaks to your soul, you have the means to purchase it, and are receptive to the joy infused into the art, bringing it into your home to brighten your mood for years to come.
Allowing art into your home provides a portal for your subconscious to connect to your inner-being. Owning original art connects you to the concept of creation and consistently renews the energy of your space.
