Hi. My name is Kate.

I am an artist living with my family in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. While I have always been creative, I am not formally trained. After obtaining my undergraduate degree from UNCG in History and Secondary Education, I taught high school Social Studies at South Central High School in Greenville, NC. After four years in education, I transitioned into the world of finance and currently work for a local credit union. During Covid, My family and I moved to Winston-Salem, NC to be near family and I began to dabble in watercolor. I fell in love! Watercolor became a way to cope with all of the new and sometimes scary things that were happening. Being with water, allowing it move and run as it will, helped me to accept the fluidity of our world and taught me more about patience and grace. As I am not formally trained, my style is uniquely my own. My artwork reflects who I am as a person, my passions, my dreams and my sorrows. It allows me the freedom to be uniquely me. My work will never be AI. If you’d like to meet me or see my work in person, I try to attend a few art shows throughout the year and have work in ongoing exhibitions. These can be found under Happenings. Prints and original pieces can be purchased through this website. I hope you see you soon!

I am currently accepting commissions for 2026. Whether you’re looking to preserve a treasured memory or searching for a unique and personalized gift, my watercolor house portraits and illustrations are the perfect choice. I pride myself on creating house portraits that capture the heart and soul of each subject, allowing you to cherish your home and the moments you’ve shared within it for years to come. If you’re looking for something even more personal, I do accept a limited number of custom journal requests per year. These journals are highly personalized and can include childhood photos, meaningful quotations, excerpts, personal letters, or anything else your creative mind can dream up.‍ ‍
