Hello and thank you for visiting my site! I am a self-taught artist painting under the name KTRAPS (KT-RAPS), a beloved nickname given to me in my childhood to shorten my Italian last name. I live in Charlotte, NC with my husband, three small boys, and dog. Since my earliest memories, I have enjoyed creating - making collages, painting, drawing, building, and bringing ideas to life. Although I have been creating for years, I have been especially focused on abstract works since the onset of the pandemic, working primarily with acrylics as well as mixed media.
My original works can be recognized for their bold, bright colors that emerge into unique patterns. Drawing on my background in preschool education and nursing, I translate personal experiences onto the canvas and celebrate the intricacies and complexity of emotions we encounter in everyday life. Using color relationships, movement, texture, sights, and sounds as inspiration, I plot the course for each unique piece. It is my intent to evoke feelings of joy and hope from the viewer and to take them on a colorful journey dotted with bold hues, surprising textures, and unexpected connections.
All the best,
Katie
