About The Artist

Katy Bishop is a contemporary abstract painter based in Los Angeles. Her gestural abstract artworks are characterized by bold, expressive, and vibrant use of color. In addition, Katy is known for her use of alcohol ink in reverse painting on plexiglass and glass.

Katy began her artistic journey as a young teen. Feeling the profound impact of “Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grand Jatte” while in scholarship classes at Chicago’s Art Institute, she began studying various artists like Seurat, Richter and Helen Frankenthaler who inspired her to explore her own talents.

These artists would also be the starting point when she returned to her art after raising her family and a successful film production career. Over the years, her extensive practice and experimentation helped her create art that resonates with her voice.
