Katie Metz

Katie grew up on Popcorn Acres, a former dairy farm outside Boulder, Colorado, named by her mother because "something was always popping up" — five kids, a parade of pets, endless crafts, friends, and a fair share of lively chaos. The expansive natural landscape, paired with this ever-changing family environment, became a wellspring for Katie’s imagination and artistic development. In 2005, Katie relocated to Seattle, Washington, where her practice continued to evolve in both method and vision. Over the past 15 years, her paintings have been presented in annual solo exhibitions and featured in galleries across the Pacific Northwest and Southwest. Her work is held in numerous private collections internationally, reflecting a steadily growing presence and resonance within the contemporary art world.
