Hi! My name is Katie, and this is a space to share my art. I believe art is a means to help healing the world. Art is for everyone. Every piece of art, even the most seemingly innocent landscape conveys a message. Art is ubiquitous in the human world and important in any culture.

I personally draw (yes pun intended) inspiration from the natural world and art of different cultures. Residing in Colorado Springs most of my life after my dad retired from the army, I have been fortunate to be close to nature. Appreciating nature is not just appreciating a pretty flower or a cute cuddly puppy, but also admiring the “unloved” and “ugly.” Beauty is in everything. Maybe I draw a spider, but that spider has a whole nebula and potential inside of her.

When I am not focused on art and away from my science based career, I tend to be out in nature whether that is hiking, volunteering to maintain the local neighborhood trails, or trying to explore a new place in the world.
