KATIE MAY

Hello!

I am a mixed media artist, abstract painter, and muralist living north of Atlanta.   

I began painting at a young age and created my first mural in high school. My work is inspired deeply by cycles of nature and the human heart. I am  passionate about the psychology of emotion and processing feelings through artistic expression.

Large scale mixed media pieces are my preferred style, incorporating acrylic, watercolor, textiles, paper, metal, wood, canvas, photographs, natural elements and more into my projects. I love to recycle materials whenever possible, salvaging supplies anywhere from the "oops paint" section at Home Depot to old ruined books, to the neighbor's giveaway pile.

My work is highly textured and I enjoy experimenting with different techniques.

​

On a personal level, I live in the beautiful town of Woodstock, GA with my handsome viking fiance' and four incredibly cool children. We have a house full of pets that includes two dogs named Bruce & Juniper, two cats named Lucius & Harley, a bearded dragon named Forrest, a sulcata tortoise named Bullet, and a tarantula named Manon.

I love reading everything from the classics to romantasy, and writing whenever I have the time. Nature is my happy place, a hike and a hammock soothe my soul.

I live my life as an adhd-riddled creative who has dabbled in all the jobs from doula, to photographer, to elder caregiver and more!

Art is my deepest passion of all, what I always thought I would be, and eventually circled back around to.
