Katey Carlis is an artist based in Media, Pennsylvania. She holds a BA in Fine Arts from Haverford College and has pursued intensive classical training in drawing and painting with John Murdock at the Bucks County Classical Arts Atelier.

Working across drawing, painting, and sculpture, Katey's practice is guided by two animating forces: a genuine curiosity about the inner life of her subjects, and a deep attentiveness to where the work itself wants to go. From that tension emerges work that is varied, emotive, intimate, and relational. These qualities connect work as diverse as figure sculpture, realist landscapes, conceptual graphite drawings and intuitive oil paintings. 

Carlis has exhibited in regional and national juried exhibitions, and her work is held in private collections across the country.
