About Me

Hi, I'm Kate

I'm a painter/ Illustrator who creates works in acrylics and mixed media. 

 

I create art for those who appreciate the quirky, unexpected moments in life. For those who welcome boldness and laughter. More than anything, I want you to stretch your imagination and have a little fun.

 

My work is a discovery of self... a blend of childlike imagination, colorful observations of life, all with a sprinkle of nostalgia. And of course my secret desire to commune with the animals like Snow White.

 

I've worn many hats - mom, costume designer, vintage curator - yet art has always been by my side. It was always there when I needed calm, clarity, or just a creative escape. 

In one of my hardest seasons, I picked up a paintbrush again...and everything shifted. What started as a healing process, turned into something bigger: connection, purpose, and a new path forward. Little did I know this would lead to a career pivot and a level of personal fulfillment I never imagined.

I found a "happy place" on Instagram years ago and started a small business selling vintage home décor. I enjoyed collecting and selling vintage art and frames, but I never had the confidence to share my own artwork.

With the encouragement of my loved ones, I finally began to share my paintings with my Instagram audience, and the result was transformative. People actually connected with my art and supported my vision! This feeling has ignited a fire that inspires me to lean into this new journey as I reinvent myself once again.

I hope you find something here that makes you smile, and know that my heart & soul is poured into every painting.  Remember to Follow My Journey on Instagram @Kate.Mace.Art
