Kate’s Nature-scapes are influenced by her time spent in Hawaii, Arizona, and upstate New York. She imbues the serenity of her travels outside NYC with bright colors, bringing a surreal lens to our experience of nature. Some of her repeated themes are mushrooms, jellyfish, and desert canyons.
Kate’s figures mirror the exuberance of their colorful aesthetic. Returning to her roots in abstraction, she seeks to promote body neutrality, body positivity, and body acceptance through figures that range widely in race and body type, with an element of exaggeration or fantasy. Her most common subjects are women, reflecting the wide range of bodies and attitudes she sees around her. She represents women in many states: love, exuberance and relaxation.

Rowohlt publishing contacted Kate requesting to use her piece titled ‘Indian Ocean Mystic’ on author David Wagners novel titled ‘Verkin’ for an August 2024 release. The book is now available where books are sold internationally.
From more than 1,000 art submissions, Kate’s piece titled “Dancing Together” was selected as one of 36 pieces in Collective Arts Brewings’s 2021 The Amplified Voices series. This project highlights protest art, artwork that deals with equity/inequity, art from BIPOC artists, art from LGBTQ2+ artists, and artwork that conveys a sense of hope for a safer and more inclusive future. Entries were judged by an independent panel of Black, Indigenous and Latino creatives from multiple fields.
“Dancing Together” was featured across Collective Arts Brewery’s beer cans, and crewneck sweatshirts available across all of their sales channels globally. Kate was also selected to be Collective Art Brewary’s resident artist in April 2021.
As Collective Arts
Brewing’s April 2021 resident artist, advertising for Kate’s exclusive pieces was promoted across Collective Art’s Brewing’s Platforms. They also interviewed Kate in a piece highlighting her artistic style, and specific inspiration around her featured piece, “Dancing Together.”
Werkshoppe Puzzles was so impressed by what they saw of her work on social media, that they approached her to license imagery for their puzzles. Two of her pieces, “Loopty Loo” and “Jungle Boogie” were transformed into 250 and 500 Piece Jigsaw Puzzles respe i l d h b lli i
