Faculty Highlight

Katie Davis

Assistant Professor Katie Davis is a mixed media painter and installation artist. She finds inspiration in materials such as old curtains or vintage fabrics that had a life of their own before making their way into her work. As a professor in the First-Year Experience classes Creative Practices and Making With Care, she encourages students to consider materials as much as they consider concepts. You can see her own explorations in work such as, Painting for a Space at the Beeler Gallery, a collaborative effort that asked the question, “What does it mean to consider a room as a painting?”
