Hello!

I’m Kate Sowinski—a painter and illustrator based in Columbus, Ohio.

My paintings explore the relationship between form, movement, and space, with big, playful abstract flowers at the center. I use bold color and fluid shapes to bring flowers to life—on canvas and on walls. I’m inspired by how organic forms adapt to their environments in a commitment to resilience and growth. Through my paintings, I hope to share a joyful reminder to play.

In addition to painting, I create illustrations rooted in the interconnectedness of nature and life and death. I love to illustrate this connection where animals hold the ecosystems inside of them. Sometimes dark, sweet, sad, and humorous these drawings help me process my grief over the loss of life in our changing world and they offer a balance to the joy of my paintings.
