Collection: Katie Conley - Prints
Get to Know the Austin Artist:
Katie is an incredibly visual person, so ideas strike her often. She loves finding good composition already existing in her environment, and when she does, she snaps pictures with future paintings in mind. Hundreds and hundreds of pictures. It may take decades for these photos to become the subject being put to canvas, but when they do, she gets to relive the moment that she captured all those years ago. The sounds, smells, and emotions come back to her as she paints, whether it’s warm bread and tangy Parisian cheese, or the salty air and waves crashing in Greece or Mexico. The excitement and energy of that time and place are available at the tip of her brush. She’s nostalgic about her pre-marriage and pre-children days, but loves capturing the family energy of a moment, too. Whatever is coming to the forefront in the studio, it’s fun to go back in time.
