Kate was raised in California learning about sustainable agriculture at a young age. Her family runs an organic farm which introduced her to a culture of food at a young age. The process of growing your own food is all done by hand, which naturally drew her to printmaking and art that is all done by hand. The craft of the art making has always been central. Her art explores culture through food, agriculture and the natural world. Her works centers around joy and healing and how these things can be attained through connection through culture and nature. As the world evolves to move us further away from nature, Kate has been drawn to move closer to the hand made.

Kate earned her BFA from Pratt Institute in 2012 and a Post-Baccalaureate Health Sciences Program from UC Berkeley in 2023. She partnered with Drive By Press 2011 - 2016 touring the country teaching woodcut printmaking at universities, galleries and DIY events. Schools included were Cal State Universities, private colleges, community colleges and art schools such as California College of Arts. This included working with many artists from all over the United States, showing in galleries along the way. This project involved touring with an etching press in a truck and bringing printmaking to schools and venues without access to this style of printing. In 2015 she exhibited internationally in a group show in Beijing, China. Kate has partnered with organizations to teach printmaking including San Francisco Center for the Book, Self-Help Graphics in LA, as well as other grass roots printing events with Drive By Press. Kate worked as a professional printer for poster artist Chuck Sperry as well as producing posters for local bands to the Bay Area between 2012 - 2016. Since Kate’s work has been produced independently. She relishes the opportunity to invest in a handmade art craft and shares this joy with you through her art. Kate currently designs imagery and posters for small businesses, as well as her fine art.
