Kate uses digital methods to create artwork, illustrations, textile designs, wallpaper, giftwrap, and greeting cards. Kates recent collaborations have included HBO's Succession, Trader Joe's, Speks, Jiggy Puzzles, and Collective Arts Brewary.
Kate spent her childhood going to New York City museums such as the MoMA, The Guggenheim, and The Whitney on rainy days and getting lost in the art. She became inspired by abstract and contemporary artists such as Henri Matisse, Hilma af Klint, and David Hockney. She also was inspired by her maternal grandmother, who was an illustrator for women’s fashion ads in the New York Times in the 1960’s and always wore Marimekko skirts and dresses.
Kate’s life work fully integrates art and psychology. In addition to her artwork, Kate uses her creative and intuitive abilities to help people to explore themselves, develop self- acceptance, and self-love. Kate’s joyful art is created with the intention to bring happiness and self-reflection to its viewers. Enjoy!
