Katie Conway McGlade

Hello

I’m so glad you found my space.

Art lives deep in my bones, growing, supporting, and defining me since early childhood. During my MFA years at Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, I learned to continually examine the blurry edges of what it means to be an Artist. 

Questions like 'What if?' and 'Why not?" nudge me daily. Vibrant colors, curious scenes, odd shapes, and new intersections lead to unexpected observations and openings. My images offer the possibility to ignite wonder and joy. 

Art for everyone

I believe Art should spark a visceral connection and be accessible. Here’s some good news – my work comes from a fine arts background, but you don’t need to go broke in order to share it or enjoy it in your space. 

The works

Playful mashups of words, images and vibrant hues invite you to discover a world outside the norm. 

The Adverbly series prompts pictures and words to modify each other, leading the imagination somewhere new. Just pick a piece whose adverb, color or imagery jumpstarts your message or adds intrigue to your environment.

The process

I follow my instinct to connect through exploration and image/word play – blending my own pictures with others culled from the public domain. Simply put, I know where to find the portal to my magical mystery tour and welcome each new adventure.

In the creative moment, I leave my head and enter my heart. Hopefully, these images help you do the same. 

Looking for a custom piece? 

If my art speaks to you, I invite you to rummage around here. And if you’d like something just for you, please reach out. Let me create a piece to meet your personal or professional needs. Special collaborations include creating custom montages from family photos and album designs for musicians.

I hope my art brings some fun and wonder into your day and that it inspires you to connect with the extraordinary people in your circles. 

Thank you. See you around!
