Brooklyn, NY, United States | @katiebaconstudio
Born and raised in Georgia, I’ve been living and painting in Brooklyn for the past decade. I paint bright abstractions inspired by nature, my surroundings, and personal connections.
Holding a BFA in painting and drawing from the University of Georgia's Lamar Dodd School of Art, my work has been displayed throughout the Southeast and NYC. My mother and grandmother instilled in me a love for art and creativity. It has been an honor to been have been included in solo and group exhibitions in restaurants, galleries and museums since I was young.
My newest collection 'Meditative Landscapes’ are acrylic paintings on paper and canvas that hone in on the feeling or impression a place can make on the earth and in turn, on us. Using lots of color and bold brush strokes, often resembling vibrations, I am inspired by landscape aerials, daydreams, energy fields, meditation, and the power of positivity. By meditating on places of inspiration, the act and process of painting takes on a whole new meaning, becoming a ritual or special prayer around a place that has resonated with me. After 2020 and the anxieties of feeling uprooted by the pandemic, I have found solace in a deeper spiritual journey and the comforts of rediscovering my roots back in my hometown. This particular collection is especially meaningful to me because it is a reflection and representation of my internal journey in response to this past year as well as being reminiscent of a time when we were able to travel freely. They uplift the spirit and soothe the heart. It is meant to inspire hope and possibilities and a slice of happiness from me to you!
