About me
Katherine Holmes grew up in Ft Worth, Texas and graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University in 2014 with a Bachelor’s of Fine Art degree.
A passionate painter, she interned in Cardiff, Wales using art workshops as a way to connect with the homeless and socially isolated. After two years of working alongside this people group, she returned to Corpus Christi, Texas and became an artist with K Space Studios. She worked as a fine artist and mural assistant with the gallery before returning to Cardiff where she completed a Masters in Art Psychotherapy in 2021.
Katherine is currently practicing as an art psychotherapist in the United Kingdom. Alongside this work, she maintains a studio practice working with mixed media, paint, and textiles.
