Kate Oh is a multimedia artist based in Painesville, Ohio who graduated with a Bachelor in Fine Arts from Kent State University in 2024. Her interest in arts and crafts started with origami at a young age which developed into an everyday love of learning how she could use art to translate her fantastical ideas of reality into a visual masterpiece that could be enjoyed by everyone. Kate’s art is heavily inspired by Surrealist and architectural art which is seen by her fine line-work and repetition of color and patterns which she uses to highlight how the time and effort of one simple idea can transform into a complex journey. Experimenting with different topics like simplicity, reality, stories, and space, she creates drawings that are abstracted and colorful, utilizing mediums like ink, markers, gouache, pencil, and paint to deliver a sense of overwhelming spontaneity. As an emerging artist, Kate’s artistic goal is to continue creating art that displays her chaotic and wild perspective of stories in an abstracted and surrealist manner.
