Katie’s Story

“In 2014 I left everything behind in Philadelphia, PA and moved to Portland, OR to be closer to the mountains I crave and to push my limits as an ultramarathon trail runner.  

I start each painting by letting the contours of a map lead me towards a composition.  I alter the colors of the map to fit the mood of the place, then paint on top with acrylic and finish the details with meticulous pen and ink.  The contour lines are like fingerprints for nature.  Each place and what you experience each time you go is unique.  I aim to capture the connection people feel towards their favorite wild places.
