Katie Smart

Katie Smart is a teaching artist and  graduate of the California College of the Arts Masters program. She attended Mount Holyoke College for Studio Art with a concentration in painting and has lived and shown art in Boston, MA, Saint Augustine, FL, Chicago, IL, New Orleans, LA, and the Bay Area, as well as teaching at SUNY and SAE. She is a member of Gallery 2727 and participates in bi-monthly shows there. Katie Smart’s  practice explores the ways in which illusory space can echo subjective internal realities with abstract landscapes acting as a cipher for lived experiences with boundaries, enclosures, distance, desire, loss, horizons, things buried, unearthed, or untethered. Exploring illusory worlds can often illuminate better our own.
