Katie Russell

Bio

Katie Russell is an artist living and working in Kansas City, Missouri, currently focusing primarily in ceramics. She loves to dig in the dirt, both in the clay and in the garden, and the beauty of life she finds in each informs the other. Even when she is crafting functional forms, the natural forms of flora and fauna make their impression upon her work. 

The human form and its power to express the dynamics of relationships are other significant themes of both her painting and her sculpture. Her work explores the interrelationship of humans as well as the relationship of humans with nature.

She has been working in the mediums of oil and clay since the 1990s, and she holds a degree in art from the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore.
