ABOUT KATIE

Katie Marks is from Dayton, Ohio. They started drawing at a young age and really began practicing portraiture as a senior in high school, with their main medium being graphite from a BIC mechanical pencil. Their portraits are carefully done with meticulous attention to detail, giving them a sense of intimacy and realism like you’re staring at a photograph. Since then, they have developed skills with digital design and have expanded into stop-motion animation, working with bands on their art and on the set of a stop-motion full length film. Their background includes years of portrait art, marketing for SofaBurn Records and various restaurants, artwork for independent films and music videos, show posters, and artist management. Currently Katie lives with their fiancée Rae and two cats, Alice and Steve.
