katiemuth's Profile

Bio

Katie Muth is an independent artist and printmaker who designs and prints beautiful stuff in her home-based workshop. The lino-cut images depict things from her life that she cherishes most. Her intent is to make beautiful creations that share this joy.

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 previously worked in etching, screen and litho printing, she always returns to 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 latest collection is inspired by Sydney's beautiful Victorian wrought iron terraces and the gloriously saturated colors of its tropical flowers, birds, and bikinis! The new collection of cards, journal covers, and pencil cups are designed to make your desk (or someone else's) a little more sunny.
