Katie Argyle can be found at Necessity Studios, in Aurora, Ontario, Canada negotiating a small studio space without any natural light, minimal heat, but with a good coffee machine.
She works across the mediums of printmaking, painting and ceramics, exploring the unique qualities of each one.
Since moving to the heart of Suburban Canada in 2011, Katie has been trying to assimilate into the suburban lifestyle. She is mining her observations in her current body of work focused on clear cutting in an urban environment through a series of large scale woodcut prints, photos, drawings and paintings.
She is the owner of Out of My Mind - Purveyors of Mighty Fine Art begun in 1991 at the By Ward Market in Ottawa, Ontario. A dedicated supporter of farmers, producers and makers, she shows and sells her small scale work at local farmers' markets and art fairs. During the coronavirus pandemic, all outdoor and indoor shows have been put on hold and she is trying to stay focused on showcasing and selling her work online.
