Originally from Kentucky, Kat Spears’ studio practice is founded largely in an inexhaustible love for observational and figural drawing and painting. Parallel to this practice, they engage with many modes of image-making, as well as installation, sculpture, poetry, music, and sound. They graduated from Berea College in 2014 (Studio Art, Art History, Spanish), and completed a Masters of Fine Arts from Indiana University Bloomington in 2022. They have been teaching drawing and painting courses since 2019 and currently serve as the Visiting Professor of Painting and Drawing at Berea College.
Kat Spears: Surface Lore is on view in the Upper Traylor Gallery from January 21 through March 13, 2026.
