What started as small experiments soon evolved into a signature style that is quickly gaining attention.

Since then, her rise has been remarkable. Katie has hosted solo exhibitions, attracted collectors around the world, grown a fast-expanding Instagram audience, and seen her work featured in publications like Vogue and Business Insider.

In Painting Wavism, she opens the doors to her studio to share the techniques behind her process. Wavism is more than a style, it’s a movement. The journey has only just begun, and you’re invited to be part of it.
