Kate Devine was born and raised in San Francisco and has been creating art for as long as she can remember. Encouraged by the voice of her grandfather, a senior apprentice of architect Frank Lloyd Wright, and her great grandmother Aline Barnsdall, creator of the Barnsdall Art Park in Los Angeles, she continued to find herself drawing and painting throughout her childhood which eventually brought her to study in New York.

After graduating from NYU with a BFA in Art and Drama, she lived overseas where she was influenced by the villages of Europe, the streets of Tokyo and the exotic landscapes of Bali. Her broad range of aesthetics in oil has been exhibited in galleries, airports, commercial spaces as well as sold to private collectors across the globe. 

When she is not teaching art, she continues to find her own voice as an artist. Whether it is illustrating children’s books or working on her next solo exhibition, she finds great joy discovering and exploring the coexistence of organic and urban life through her paintings.
