Artist Biography

Katie Locke finds joy and fulfillment in exploring her creative side, from charcoal drawings to photography she has formed a love for it all. Katie likes to capture and create moments that have significant meaning to her and hope that will reflect to her viewer.

Katie became an artist at a young age, perfecting her art skills by putting value into her coloring book pictures and carefully making small villages out of play dough. A number of events through out her life formed not only a love but an undying need to keep art in her life, always.

Giving depth and value to art projects as early as the coloring book years was credited to her family as her older sister showed her how “old girls drew” and her mother trusted Katie in her middle school years to take the reins on the design end of her mother’s published “How To” books. Katie found this to be engaging and took art classes through all of her years of school. Katie really found that she couldn’t live without art when she decided to go for a nursing major. She took a drawing class on the side and found that all of her love and work went towards that class rather than her other studies. The next semester Katie new something had to change, she had to go with her love of art and fulfill a career in it. The support given by her loving husband, a current BYU student in advertising, was gratifying for her new decision. The two work off each other for advice, criticism and support.

Katie is now found creating all sorts of art from yarn designs on her living room wall to fulfilling her current school education in Graphic Design. Katie has found photography to be a perfect medium to all realms of art. It grasps and collects great design, inspiring emotions and touching moments.
