This is my story...and I'm sticking to it

Born and raised in the great Midwest, my husband and love-of-my-life, Kurt, and I have called Charlotte, NC home for so many years now that we can safely say “y’all” and expect no sideways glances.

When I’m not painting, I use my love for interior decorating to make my home, or the home of a client, a beautiful and inviting reflection of who we are. A space that functions well and truly sparks joy. My (slightly suspect) administrative skills keep the husband on task and in the right place at the right time and gardening helps feeds my passion for nourishing our bodies well. I have a beautiful network of friends who lift me up and I find great purpose encouraging and mentoring others inside and outside of our faith community. And boy, am I funny. I marvel how CrossFit workouts can simultaneously energize AND suck the life out of me. And any attempts to herd our cats Richie and Royal are daily reminders that, hard as I may try, I’m never really in control of anything.

My work is currently available locally at Slate Interiors and House of Nomad. I have on online shop here with available original works and I also invite you to peruse my Etsy shop, KathiGravesArt (linked here on the website). I often work directly with designers and I also welcome commission work.
