Katie at the top of Mt. Wellington in Tasmania

Katie Muth graduated from the Ontario College of Art and Design, where she majored in Printmaking.

Over the years she has worked in all printmaking mediums, and has produced work ranging from large hand-printed kites to intricate limited-edition artist books. Having worked in etching, screen and litho printing, she has settled on lino-cut relief printing as her chosen means of expression. She loves the clean, binary nature of the lines (there is no grey – it’s either printed or not printed), and the way the hand is slowed by the process of carving, making the images strong and deliberate.

Her lino-cuts have been exhibited near and far – from hometown Toronto, Canada to Sydney, Australia. She has been a popular vendor at outdoor art shows and indie craft fairs (since the very early days of indie craft fairs), exhibiting at intimate shows of three tables and sprawling 300 vendor events.

She launched her first line of greeting cards and calendars in 2006, and has since been carried in hundreds of shops worldwide.
