Katie’s artwork caught my eye the moment she was referred to me. She explores the mother-child bond with brilliant, beautiful expression. They have a natural and mystical appeal that exudes warmth and nurturing. I am proud to be featuring her on The Artist Alcove as I feel her art is something of great beauty, essence and necessity.

Growing up as youngest in a family of 4 children, Katie relished time & space to explore through writing, drawing and people-watching. Always interested in the dynamic relationships between those around her, she later narrowed that focus to study the intimacies between mothers and their children.

A mostly self-taught painter, Katie’s art career began in high school when she launched a pencil-portrait business. Graphic design and illustration took her to Central Washington University where she earned a BFA. After a brief career in graphic design, Katie was drawn to focus exclusively on painting, vowing to paint everyday. With a constant presence in galleries and shows, and with steady commissions from around the world, Katie is enjoying her career as an artist and mother. The Women Entrepreneurs Organization of Washington has honored Katie as Entrepreneur of the Year, and she was recently cited as the #1 Motherhood Artist in America.

Katie’s days are spent with her two little boys by her side… at her heels, and running ahead. Each day she strives to balance simple, loving motherhood with the discipline and craft of painting. The resulting acrylic portraits reflect intimate moments of motherhood through gentle, whimsical compositions and soothing tones.
