2025 Cafe Art Gallery: Elemental

A devoted wife, mother, and Visual Art Educator, Katie Sharp finds peace and purpose in the creative process. She began her artistic journey studying photography and Visual Art Education at Louisiana State University, where she discovered painting as a powerful release—a way to quiet the constant noise of a busy mind.

For Katie, painting is more than a craft; it is an emotional escape, a meditative act, and a celebration of self-expression. Whether she’s inspiring young artists in the classroom or creating in her studio, she uses art—focusing on line, texture, and emotion—to connect, heal, and grow. Her work reflects the layered thoughts and emotions that shape her daily life, offering a visual narrative of reflection, resilience, and creativity.
