Katie Stirrett

I'm a self-taught artist who creates simply for the joy of it. Art has become a personal outlet, a way to explore emotion, color, and curiosity in the in-between moments of life. As a mom of three, creativity often blooms in the midst of chaos and overtaking school projects.

I had never painted before, and only began a little over two years ago. It all started with a simple idea: I suggested to my husband that we create a family piece together. He turned it into a challenge, and to my surprise, that moment unlocked an untapped love for exploring all the colors in paint. What began as play has become a way to find peace and presence.

I primarily work with acrylics, drawn to their versatility and boldness. My inspiration flows from the incredibly talented art community, the natural world, and the endless beauty that surrounds us each day. It's now rare for me to look at a sunset or even my everyday surroundings, without wanting to turn them into a painting.

My pieces aren’t about perfection, they’re about feeling. I create from a place of play, intuition, experiment, uncertainty and presence. I hope my art brings a bit of that same spark into your space.
