I Paint Joy
Hi there, friend. I’m Katie Podracky, an impressionist painter from North Carolina. I paint joy to transform your space and I can teach you how to do it too. Making gorgeous colorful paintings is my jam. I create lively, bright work that elevates beautiful memories. Nature and family adventures inspire my collections of original oils, watercolors and gouache paintings.
My paintings have been described as southern, playful, colorful and 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.
