About
Born and raised in north Texas, Kate's lifelong pursuit of art has led her
to receiving a Bachelor of Fine Art with a concentration in Printmaking
from the University of North Texas in 2021. She received her MFA in
Printmaking from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2024. Her work
primarily takes the form of screen print, with the occasional dip into
copperplate engraving and watercolor painting.
My creative process is inspired by the natural world and its inevitable conflict with humans. Through intricately layered screen prints, repurposed furniture, or reimagined animal hides, I craft narratives depicting the complex interactions between animals and humans, examining their conflict and the ensuing consequences. I weave layers of information and symbolism from natural history, behavioral ecology, music, and personal experience into each piece. Focusing on the narrative of the animal, my body of work strives to cultivate empathy towards them and underscores the importance of human responsibility towards animals in their life or death.
