39. The Language of Color with Katie Southworth


Listen Later

On this episode, Paige chats with her dear friend, Katie Southworth. Katie is an internationally recognized abstract artist and art educator currently based in Boston, MA. Originally from Darien Connecticut, she graduated from Colby College in Waterville, Maine with Bachelors degrees in Studio Art and Psychology. She went on to receive her Masters in Teaching at the Tufts School of the Museum of Fine Arts in May 2018. In August of 2021, after three years of teaching, she decided to pursue her fine art career full time!

Katie discusses her journey from art educator to full time artist and the meaning behind her beautiful, colorful work. Every piece that Katie creates uses color as the language and her over arching goal is to always make a calming visual aid for mindfulness and meditation. Katie expresses how her work is so closely tied to her own trauma of losing her mom in 2015, which induced an extreme sense of clarity of what to express through her paintings. Katie's work focuses solely on color and light as a way from staying away from darkness and depression.

Paige and Katie chat about how being open and allowing yourself to say yes to opportunities that you would normally say no to allows new doors to open. They also discuss the challenges, importance, and power of letting go in order to create more time, space, and energy to focus on what truly brings you joy, passion, and peace.

Katie has 100 of her original works are in private collections in New York City, Vero Beach, LA, Edgartown, Hermosa Beach, Oakland, Denver, Canada, Slovenia, and more. Katie’s work has been featured in international publications including House & Garden UK, Vanity Fair London, and British Vogue. Her first solo show "Colorjoy" at New Canaan Gallery and Frame attracted over 300 people to Opening Night, and 10 pieces sold in total.

Katie paints, exhibits, and sells her work out of her studio space in the Sowa Arts District of Boston, and is a member of the SoWa Artist Guild. Find her at 450 Harrison Avenue Studio #412B Boston, MA.
