Vivid floral abstraction — pink, white, and blue palette-knife blooms over a bright orange ground, in a black floater frame.

Color as mother tongue. Canvas as home.

Kat Peace, Ph.D., is an abstract painter working in acrylic and oil. A proud New Yorker via the Caribbean, now painting from her studio in the Midwest, she brings a colorist's precision — built across more than a decade as a professional makeup artist in New York City — and a deeply transnational sensibility to her canvases. Her work is gestural, textured, and rooted in the complex experience of being from many places at once. She is an emerging voice in fine art abstraction, and her paintings are made for collectors who want their walls to hold a real story.
