Kate McGrath

Kate is a 25-year-old artist based in New York City. Drawing heavily from her academic background in anthropology and women and gender studies, Kate channels her knowledge into her art, gaining a deeper understanding of the intricate relationship between identity and society through her paintings. For her, art is a medium of freedom and autonomy, transcending conventional boundaries.

Her oil paintings explore themes of gender, sexuality, and self-sustainability. Influenced by feminist theory and personal experiences, Kate employs saturated colors and surrealist elements to challenge the notion of a “natural” state of being. Her work serves as a powerful statement against the labels and expectations imposed from birth, inviting viewers to confront and question the societal constraints that shape their lives.

Kate’s art pushes the boundaries of conventional thought, inspiring others to reconsider the limits placed on identity and self-expression.

This is as much about you as it is about her.
