•
The artist on the piece: “This diptych was made in the heat of the summer, after I had been thinking about swarms of insects (butterflies specifically), and how their flight patterns are dictated by the weather. Its also loosely based on a weather map that I was looking at at the time, which I used for some of the larger shapes in the composition.”

Katie Davis
Katie Davis is a mixed media painter whose work blends together a love of domestic textiles, paper, and paint. Her color palette and visual language has become a unique voice and is in direct relationship with her materials.
With an interest in feminism and women's mental health, Katie uses materials that are readily available in the home and also draws on contemporary interior design to inform her color choice. With these tools, she weaves together work that is whimsical and poignant. Katie also relies on her personal experience of postpartum depression, mothering a child with autism, and the strength and creative power of other women to inform her work.”
