About
Katie Shapiro is a contemporary mixed media artist based in Bath, UK, whose expressive, intuitive paintings explore the relationship between nature, spirituality, and the human experience. Originally from California, Katie has carried her deep connection to the natural world into her life and practice in the United Kingdom, where she continues to develop a unique body of abstract, nature-inspired art.
Working primarily in mixed media, acrylic, and occasional oils, Katie’s paintings balance abstract expressionism with subtle, semi-realistic elements that echo the beauty and rhythm of the natural world. Her process is deeply intuitive — guided by movement, emotion, and reflection — resulting in layered, textural compositions that evoke both energy and stillness.
Nature acts as both muse and metaphor in her work, offering a way to explore themes of transformation, growth, and inner truth. Through organic shapes, luminous color palettes, and soft, impressionistic light, her paintings invite viewers to pause, connect, and reflect on the quiet wisdom of the natural world.
Now part of the Bath art community, Katie exhibits her work across the UK as well as in the United States, Europe and of course, online. Her contemporary abstract paintings and mixed media pieces are collected internationally, by art lovers who resonate with her use of color, emotion, and symbolism. Each artwork serves as a visual meditation — a bridge between the visible and the unseen, the outer landscape and the inner world.
Whether experienced in person or through her online gallery, Katie Shapiro’s art offers a moment of reflection and connection — an invitation to slow down, feel deeply, and rediscover beauty in transformation.
