Kate discovered ceramics during an especially tough personal journey and found healing in the tactile, malleable, and meditative process that comes from working with clay. Her sculptures represent her experience with womanhood. Her signature ‘heart eyes’ ups the cute factor in her pieces, but the overall effect is achieved in her ability to create complex, anthropomorphic personalities in her creatures.

Kate’s background in geology - BS in Environmental Geology from Georgia State University & from years working as a field geologist in the geotechnical engineering industry - helps with understanding the chemical processes that her work undergoes through each phase of the ceramic process.

Her body of work includes ceramic sculptures, functional ceramic pieces, fine art, digital art, signage, murals, and terrible jokes.

You can usually find Kate, covered in clay, working from her home studio or at The Art Center, where she teaches.
