ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Katy

I’m an artist, illustrator, and creative educator based in Colorado. I help artists develop technical skill, reconnect with imagination, and build a more meaningful creative practice.

After years of teaching art at the college level and mentoring artists of all experience levels, I’ve come to believe that creativity grows through both discipline and wonder. My approach combines practical instruction with a deeper invitation to slow down and rediscover the beauty of the natural world.

Through online courses, workshops, mentorship, YouTube tutorials, and my podcast Creating Space for Imagination, I share tools for strengthening your artistic eye while helping you cultivate a more observant and imaginative way of seeing. Whether you're here to learn or find inspiration, I invite you to stay awhile and explore.
