About me

My name is Katie and I'm a part-time artist/illustrator from Alberta, Canada. I live with my partner Kelsey and our two dog children, Parker and Penny. I am very lucky to work a handful of day jobs that I love, but my biggest passion is art and illustration. Making art has become my tool for mindfully embracing the wonder and joy that can be found within this increasingly scary and complicated world. A few of the themes I explore in my work are vulnerability, mindfulness, self-compassion, and appreciation for nature, with the hope that my silly little artworks might infuse a bit more kindness and softness into the world.

Fun Gal Studio is an independent art and stationary shop—owned and operated soley by me—where I sell my artwork in formats of all kinds, from original pieces to printed works. Some of the pieces available here are made entirely by me in my home studio, while others I've created with the help of bigger production companies; I generally try to use locally-based businesses for manufacturing my products wherever I can. 

My shop name was born out of a combination of 2 of my favourite things: puns and mushrooms. It is my dream to support myself financially as a creative person and this little shop is one of the ways I hope to be able to do so. I am very grateful you have stopped by!

All the best,
Katie xoxo
