“It can be said that paintings are a reflection of how one internalizes the world. At times certain sounds and sights create a feeling of sensory overload, making my world very loud and bright. These feelings are typically internalized until they are released in an alternative form of expression, abstract art, with strong energy and emotion.”
About Katie Stensberg
Katie is a non-representational abstract artist in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She creates from imagination rather than realistic references. Pieces are known for bold strokes and strong use of color. With an influence in street art, her style has grown to elements of spray paint. This medium brings rawness and grit. Additional mediums include acrylics, oil sticks and pastels.
Katie’s life lens hinges on sensory overload - picking up and amplifying sights and sounds in my environment. Perhaps this is the reason as to why she picks up colors in her environment and intuitively transpose them onto the canvas.
