Katie is an award-winning metal sculptor based out of Salt Spring Island. Her work is primarily inspired by the flora and fauna of the west coast, with the topic of conservation being at the forefront of her message.

Katie found her love for metalworking after enrolling in the welding program at Vancouver Island University in 2013. She became a certified welder and went on to work locally as well as overseas as an industrial metalworker. Kate expanded her creative horizons, learning the arts of blacksmithing and bronze casting in the Sculptural Metal Program at Kootenay School of the Arts, Nelson, BC. She now has over a decade of experience as a professional metalworker both in industry and the arts.

Katie's work is available for viewing and purchase at Gallery 8 on Salt Spring Island and Nova Gallery on Gabriola Island.
