About the Artist

MEET KAIT

I studied painting at a small liberal arts school on the North Shore of Massachusetts. Over the last 10 years I’ve moved cross-country twice, reverse-entreprenuered, and added 2 kids to the mix. We recently relocated our family back to Maryland from Washington State where we’ve traded mountains and dungeness crabs for farmland and blue crabs.

My work is gestural, atmospheric, and a little contemplative—each piece is a momentary narrative. It settles somewhere between impressionist and abstract, and is almost always inspired by nature and travel. My work is a quiet celebration of the beauty around us.

I’ve spent the last 8 years building a career in community development. My day job is all about connecting small business owners who use HoneyBook to run their client relationships so they can focus on their craft.

CORE VALUES

Core values support the vision and framework of the work I create and the decisions I make.

Strength. Inspiration. Emotion. Connection. Integrity.

WHY I PAINT

I paint to express love for the world around us. While my disease limits the way I move through and interact with the world, I can still participate productively in this life through the process of making. I am able to create an intimate connection and emotional experience from a piece of artwork. Through my work, I’ve also been able to cultivate community with other artists who have chronic illnesses. Together we are able to normalize the challenges we face without minimizing or hiding.
