KATIE PUMPHREY

Katie Pumphrey is a Baltimore-based contemporary artist and long distance swimmer. Her paintings, installations, and sculptures explore the tension between calm and chaos. Crisp edges and quiet shapes are at a constant tug-o-war with playful movement and vibrating color. Her work dives into the familiar scramble to find calm when chaos is swirling around us, and the go-to humor we call on to brighten a moment or lighten the load.
