Katie Bell is originally from Rockford, Illinois and is currently based in New York. She graduated from RISD's MFA painting department a few years ago. She has said to be very influenced by her parent's work. "My dad is a construction worker, building and restoring homes, and my
mom is an interior designer. They often work together on projects. They
are makers and always had friends around the house with similar
interests. It wasn’t until recently that I realized how much my work is
exactly a product of their world."
