Katherine Herrell
The whimsical Illustrator and designer Katherine Herrell has always loved art, a passion nurtured by her grandmother. In college, at the Art Institute of Atlanta, she discovered that painting classes “felt like eating candy every day,” and she still feels that same joy today. Her signature approach combines traditional mediums, such as gouache, watercolor, and colored pencils, finessed with a hint of technology. Katherine’s playful designs, which she calls folky florals, often feature vibrant colors, flowers, enchanting animals, and uplifting phrases. The wonders of nature, the simplicity of Scandinavian design, and colorful Mexican folk art continually inspire her. After working as an in-house artist for several companies, she now happily creates in her home studio in Atlanta, Georgia, where she resides with her young family.
Katherine and her daughters spread kindness by painting rocks with inspiring messages and placing them in parks and other public places.
