Consistently leaning towards organic imitation, Katie makes visual confessions of life’s roller coaster – mementos of love, trauma redefined, connection, and acceptance. She gives a nod to the unpleasant, turning ugly into beauty; celebrating delight and amplifying the pleasurable.The conceptual focus of Katie’s jewelry is based in personal narrative, using abstracted references to natural imagery and societal influences to share experiences, thoughts, and ideas.
A primary focal point explores themes of connection, creating moments and objects that help facilitate the power of interconnectedness. She works both large (for jewelry) and small scale, finding balance in the extremes. Katie hopes to honor sculpture work by building intricate pieces by hand from precious scrap metals. She mainly works in sterling silver, dabbling in gold when optional. Katie sees nature and man as one and the merging of natural materials within her work allows her to find balance in life.
