Meet Katy, your teacher!

Katy Biele

Artist, Instructor

Hi, I'm Katy. I'm a professional artist working in paint and embroidery. I've spent the last decade teaching people exactly like you how to find their own creative style in these mediums. My work has been exhibited internationally and is known for its vibrant use of color and rich textures. I work across embroidery, fiber art installations, and painting on paper and canvas, often mixing watercolors, acrylics, and inks. Teaching is one of my greatest passions, and I especially love fostering creative communities where students can explore freely, play with color, and build confidence in their own creative process.
