Katie is a graduate from the University of Central Florida where she earned her Bachelor's of Fine Arts with a specialization in painting. However, she is a multi-medium artist who has also been working with drawing, collage, fabric, and paper, as evidenced by her Etsy shop.

In much of her work, Katie is interested in the representation of the female body - from the mid 20th century woman to the media-created fantasies of today. She lists Tracy Emin as a major inspiration and we can see a similar strong, outspoken style in Katie's work.

REBEL CROSS STITCH & EMBROIDERY

"A modern take on an old tradition, embroidery and cross stitch: With words like 'subversive' and 'radical' being used in some of these modern day craft revolutions, this is definitely an evolving medium that has limitless possibilities within the realm of both art and craft."
- Katie Holland
