Kat Wright
Artist in Residence
Kat Wright is a painter and designer and divides her time between Canmore, Alberta and Nelson BC, where she lives with her two children. Kathryn grew up in Vancouver and studied graphic design & illustration at Capilano University. She moved to Banff in 2010 and continued to live there until 2023, when she relocated her children to Nelson, BC for a calmer pace of life.
In her work, colour and tone are the tools Kat employs as much as her brushes and paints. Finding this magic is one of the most difficult jobs of any artist, but whenever she succeeds she finds peace – a feeling Kat is constantly chasing.
