Katie L Minyard (b. 1987) explores the complexities of female sexuality, pleasure, and fantasy that comes through from a material exploration of paint and light reflective materials, such as glitter and sequins. Through combining a hyper feminine aesthetic influenced by her own matriarchal lineage, kitsch love hotels and Valentines with the idea of fantastical ideas pleasure, she is able to visually express through her work a high sensory ideal of female pleasure.
Katie is a recent MFA graduate in Studio Art Practices- Painting and Drawing at the University of Colorado Boulder and holds a BFA in Studio Art-Painting from Louisiana Tech University School of Design. She is a recipient of the King Award Scholarship and has recently completed her residency at Breck Create in Breckenridge, CO.
