Katie’s art focuses on creating soulful pieces while working in a meditative flow state.

Her work is a celebration of layered color and expressive, gestural marks. She draws inspiration from music, joy, and visceral experiences, allowing these elements to flow into her creative process. In moments of deep receptivity, she channels source energy, making marks on the canvas with her eyes closed—releasing all inhibitions and trusting these instinctive strokes to shape and guide the composition. When she fully opens herself to this energy, the marks—though made without sight—are spiritually informed and always resonate.

She hopes that if a piece speaks to your soul, you will feel empowered to bring it into your home, embracing the joy and energy embedded within the art. She believes that the process of creation infuses each piece with a unique vibrational energy, and that original art enhances the atmosphere of your space, carrying the significance you ascribe to it.

By welcoming art into your home, you open a portal for your subconscious to connect with your inner self. Owning original art fosters a connection to the act of creation itself, continually renewing the energy of your surroundings and elevating the vibration of your space.
