Katie Brash

MEDIUM: Charcoal

Katie Brash is a practicing studio artist and educator based in Charleston, SC. Originally from Pittsburgh, PA, Katie graduated from Allegheny College in 2017 where she studied Global Health and Studio Art. She then earned her Masters Degree in teaching at College of Charleston in 2022 with a concentration in art.

She has practiced both as a studio artist and an art educator. Katie has an interest in ancient statues, and much of her work involves re-capturing these structures in large-scale black and white drawings, creating contemporary scenes from historical relics.

Most of Katie’s work is done in charcoal, though she has also used graphite, conté crayon, chalk pastel, and occasionally oil or acrylic paint. Working almost exclusively large-scale, Katie ties different imagery into high contrast compositions that fill the foreground space in her work. Katie continues to develop her skill and appreciation of art, playing with different reference materials and mediums.
