Bio

Katie Fogg is a Connecticut-born painter whose work bridges classical training with contemporary exploration. She received her BFA from the Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts and her MFA from the New York Academy of Art, where she developed a rigorous foundation in figurative painting and observational practice. Her work has been recognized with awards including the John Stobart Fellowship, and she has been noted for her sensitivity to color and her dedication to direct observation.

Working across plein-air, abstract figurative, and visionary painting, Fogg’s practice moves fluidly between the external world and interior experience. Her bodies of work operate as interconnected extensions of a larger artistic organism, evolving in tandem with her lived experience and an ongoing inquiry into the human condition. Rooted in direct observation yet increasingly informed by introspection, her paintings trace a passage inward—engaging imagination, the unseen, and a shared, collective consciousness. Through this continuum, her work opens a dialogue between the tangible and intangible, offering images that seek not only to reflect personal experience, but to resonate more broadly as meditations on perception, awareness, and the well-being of humanity.

This ongoing dialogue between observation and imagination forms the foundation of her practice, where painting becomes both a record of presence and a means of accessing deeper states of awareness.
