Mixed Media 2D “I've always been an artist; I just didn't know it,” says Katie. “It took landing in the wrong major, and subsequently, the wrong industry, for me to realize I couldn't fight it any longer.”
Katie’s been in the right career for 18 years, creating pieces using hand drawn illustrations in graphite and gold leaf. She then uses assorted papers to create manipulated silhouettes of the illustration. All pieces are on clayboard. Katie believes that adding texture and pattern can add visual interest to a simple graphite drawing.
She’s inspired to create by her deep love for birds. “I feel pulled to make art related to this.”

Describe your dream art project.
An installation of large, colorful hummingbird pieces in Montana
In terms of your art, where is the most inspirational place you’ve ever been?
Truly, my own back yard. That is where I draw most of my subject matter.
Titles of works can be descriptive or clever or totally unrelated. What’s your favorite title of a piece you’ve named?
I have a favorite piece that is called "August”. It is of a swarm of hummingbirds flying all over the board. If you know anything about hummingbirds, you know that late summer is when they get pretty feisty. They fight over the feeder, as they are trying to plump themselves up for the long migration south. This piece reminded me of the activity around our feeders in August and September.
