Welcome!

My art is more than creation; it's about fostering connections and prompting introspection.

Through each stroke and sculpted form, I aim to evoke emotions, spark conversations, and inspire reflection.

My mission is to invite collectors on a journey of exploration and self-discovery, using storytelling and symbolism to ignite wonder, celebrate the beauty in the ordinary and inspire others to express!

“Inspiration is a gift that connects me to something greater than myself, something divine.”

Softness before unfolding, a quiet study in vulnerability and strength. Cocooned Essence captures the feminine form in fluid, sculptural curves. Painted in soothing violets, blush tones, and warm mauves, this piece blends abstraction with gentle realism to evoke softness, introspection, and embodied presence.

The figure’s pose, intimate yet grounded, invites the viewer into a moment of stillness. The blurred, atmospheric background enhances the dreamlike quality, creating a calming focal point for any room.

Perfect for collectors drawn to contemporary figurative art that celebrates feminine energy and emotional depth.

Becoming: Surrender
$240.00

This figure holds a rare, quiet strength. Her form leans gently forward, not in collapse but in release, the kind of surrender that happens when you finally allow yourself to feel what you’ve been carrying.

Symbolism embedded in her posture and strokes:

- Accepting tenderness as a form of power

- Letting softness be seen, not hidden

- The moment the body unclenches

- Releasing the old idea that vulnerability is weakness

- The palette is intentional,  warm pinks and soft golds echo a return to self-compassion. She is the reminder that becoming often starts with softening.

 

Details:

• Original oil on Birch Wood

• 12 inches x 9 inches

• Ideal as a focal point in living spaces, creative studios, or modern interiors

• Signed by the artist

Ashes of My Soul Collection

This collection is particularly meaningful to me as it was created during a time of unravelling, surrendering, growing and becoming. Vulnerably revealing the transition of growth and healing.

Living room with a large eye painting on the wall, cream sofa with pillows, wooden coffee table, potted plants, window views of trees, and a round wooden side table with a lamp.
Art studio workspace with a wooden workbench, jars of paintbrushes, and three framed sketches of female figures on the white wall.

Collector’s Love

  • Surrender!

    Katherine’s art spoke to me. It was evident her art is incredibly vulnerable and healing.

  • Expressed!

    As I was exploring my own sense of expansion and femininity, Katherine’s art found me. I bought the last piece that expressed growth and flourishing as a reminder.

  • Grow it.

    The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and you can evolve with it.

  • It all begins with an idea. Whatever it is, the way you feel your story can make all the difference on how you tell it.
