Katie Garner, a talented artist, is thrilled to showcase her work to the world. Art has always been a significant part of her life, having earned a BFA in oil painting from WSU in 1996. Following her studies, she delved into designing, coding, and maintaining websites for the Evans School of Public Affairs at UW. However, when her first child arrived, Katie decided to focus on being a full-time mother, temporarily setting aside her passion for art.
In the midst of family life, Katie's attention shifted to nurturing her children's creative pursuits. It wasn't until her oldest child reached middle school that she rediscovered her love for painting and began to work with acrylics. This new medium offered her the familiarity of oils while presenting exciting new possibilities. Through experimentation and dedication, Katie found her unique voice in acrylic painting and has been thoroughly enjoying the process.
Inspiration strikes Katie in the form of light, color, and texture, whether it's a simple flower or a captivating landscape that sparks her imagination. Her art reflects a blend of fun and beauty alongside thought-provoking pieces with underlying layers of meaning. Katie hopes that her work resonates with you and invites you to explore the prints available for purchase, perfect for enhancing the ambiance of your home or office decor. Thank you for visiting and supporting her creative journey.
