Awards & Publications

Along the way, my work has been recognized internationally and featured by organizations and publications whose missions I deeply admire.

"I have worked with Kate as a colleague as well as a client. She is a gentle and genuine spirit that takes much pride in her craft. Her work is not only beautiful but also so very artistic. She truly captures memories of the heart and makes them tangible. I have her work all over my walls! I hope one day my great-grandchildren will cherish these photos as much as my husband and I do." -Jessica
