I Paint Joy
Hi there, friend. I’m Katie Podracky, an impressionist painter from North Carolina. I paint joy, hope and resilience with beautiful color and I can teach you how to do it too. My lively, bright work elevates beautiful memories and connections that matter. Nature and family adventures inspire my paintings and art prints.
My paintings have been described as full of “uninhibited joy,” and my work is collected across the United States and featured in the permanent collections of four universities and multiple corporations.
I release new collections of original work and prints for sale throughout the year. To know when new pieces arrive and shop before the public, join my Studio Insiders List here.
