About Me

My name is Katie Pate. I am an emerging, self-taught artist from Tulsa, Oklahoma. I have been creating art from a young age, and I started painting and drawing animals in my early twenties. I have always loved animals, and when I started painting, it felt natural to paint them, especially the pets around me. My favorite subject to paint is cats because I have a special bond with them. My favorite art medium is oil paint because of its slow drying rate, consistency, and depth. I also enjoy working with other mediums, such as watercolor and charcoal pencils. Lately, I've been loving watercolors and incorporating colored pencils into them. I want people to see the happiness each pet brings through my art, which is long-lasting and comforting. That is irreplaceable.
