About the Artist: Katie Moore Howson

I’m Katie Moore Howson and I’m a self-taught mixed media artist based in Charlotte, NC. While I’ve made art for as long as I can remember, I rediscovered this passion in 2020 after having my daughter at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Through struggles with postpartum depression and anxiety, art became my refuge and healer. Before the pandemic, I spent over a decade in a non-traditional “art school,” earning my creative education as a copywriter and creative director working alongside graphic designers, illustrators, motion editors, and photographers at MTV in NYC and Wray Ward in Charlotte. These past creative lives inform my work’s foundation in storytelling, language, symbolism, and how meanings are made from our highly individual emotional landscapes. My artistic process is deeply spiritual and ritualistic. The gratitude, healing, and joy I find in being an artist gets infused into every piece I create. I hope you’ll feel it too.
