Hi, I'm Kate

I’m an acrylic artist living in the tiny coastal town of Morehead City, North Carolina.  When I’m not in my studio, I’m likely with my husband and two small kids—professional crab hunters and ocean splash experts.

 

​My art leans toward calm, peaceful scenes. Painting is my way of slowing things down, soaking in the beauty around me, and sharing a little pocket of peace with anyone who needs it. I’m just happy to put my work into the world and hope it lands with people who love it as much as I love making it.

Whether you’re selecting a painting for your home, office, or seaside retreat, each piece is created to bring peace and presence into the space it inhabits.
