About

Hi, my name is Katie Garner and I’m excited to share my work with you.

After earning my BFA from Washington State University in 1996, I spent several years blending creativity with technology by designing and maintaining websites for the UW Evans School of Public Affairs.

My artistic journey has taken me from color pencils, to watercolors, then oils. I loved all of these choices but I'm in love with acrylics. The versatility of the medium—its varying viscosities and vibrant pigments—provide limitless creative opportunities.

For me, painting is all about light, color, and texture. I love creating art that is fun and beautiful as well as thought-provoking. I hope you enjoy my work and thank you for sharing this journey with me.

Enduring Love, my latest owl painting

Nearly a year ago a friend who shares my passion for owls sent me an Instagram post filled with stunning barn owl photos. One image, in particular, resonated with both of us. It featured two young owls gazing at each other against a warm, dark background. I just knew I had to paint these birds!
