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.

Trying something new...

I've just finished a two painting project inspired by my hairdresser. Yup - he's amazing and he's also one of the best drag queens in Spokane! In fact, he was last seasons (2024-2025) Empress of the Imperial Sovereign Court of Spokane. By day, he's a passionate advocate of the LGBTQIA+ community and fabulous hair artist. By night she's Crystal Marché - a spectacular diva who entrances her audiences with her stunning gowns, perfect makeup, fabulous hair, and emotional performances.

Three new paintings

I've finished a few more pieces a while ago and am just now getting around to framing and listing them for sale. I'm not sure why this part takes me so long, maybe it's the letting go?
