Artist Bio
Katie Southworth is an award-winning, internationally collected abstract artist currently based in Bridgeport, CT. Originally from Darien Connecticut, she graduated from Colby College in Waterville Maine with Bachelor’s degrees in Studio Art and Psychology. Katie discovered her signature style her senior year of college, the same year she unfortunately grieved the sudden loss of her mother. She was the recipient of the Charles Hovey Pepper Prize for her body of work featured in the 2016 Senior Capstone Exhibition. She went on to receive her Masters in Teaching at the Tufts School of the Museum of Fine Arts in May 2018.
In August of 2021, after three years of teaching elementary art, she began pursuing her fine art career full-time. Over 250 of her original works are in private and public collections across 50+ cities across the nation and abroad, including New York City, Miami, LA, Canada, and more. Katie’s work has been featured in international, local, and fine art publications including British Vogue, Darien Magazine, and Create! Magazine.
Katie is also a published author. Her first book, Dr. Roy G. Biv; Healing from Trauma One Colorful Painting at a Time, An Artist’s Journey to Hope and Joy was published in April 2024 and is available on Amazon. Katie shows her work in her studio, online, in exhibitions, and at art fairs across the country, and donates a percentage of sales to The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention annually.
