My daughters, Katie and Kristen are an integral part of my work and inspiration.

Katie St. Clair is an art Professor at Davidson College and has shared her work with us on this website.

Katie St. Clair began painting from an early age, and has continued with some sort of art expression ever since. She grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio heavily influenced by her mother’s love of gardening, her father’s gift of building and designing space, and her grandmother’s collection of fabric and fondness for knitting and sewing. All of these elements seem to find their way into Katie’s art work.

Katie graduated from the Art Academy of Cincinnati in 2006 (valedictorian). After doing some traveling, she landed in New York City, where she worked as an artist. Her work graces this website.

Katie’s extensive travels have taken her to Indonesia, South America and Europe.  After obtaining her masters degree at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, she taught classes at the Burren School of Art in Ireland and Albion College in Albion, Michigan. In 2016, she began teaching art at Davidson College in Davidson, North Carolina.
