Katie Willes is an emerging artist who paints intuitively. Always an art lover, Katie discovered her
passion for creating colorful expressive art in her 40's. Her fearless foray into exhibiting her work
quickly led to a commitment to build an artistic career.
Self-taught, Katie relies on her ability to tap into her unconscious mind, letting the creative process
unfold, rather than force an outcome. She credits the success of this process with decades
of cultivated mindfulness and her experienced sense of color and design. Her art truly reflects her
personality: chaos cultivated into calm.
Highly traveled from her wandering childhood and nomadic early adulthood, Katie's art education
came from visiting the museums of the world. She finds inspiration in her travels: from the exotic
calligraphic script of the Middle East, or patterns found in Byzantine mosaics in Sicily, to the
pedestrian juxtaposition of color and pattern in an urban skyline, or graffiti in the inner city; all feed
her subconscious and influence her style.
