Kate Schultz {Local Love}

Happy Thursday Everyone! 
We sure are looking forward to the weekend and bet y'all are too! Today we wanted to share a little bit about a local artist whose work leaves us breathless every time. Kate Freeman Schultz is incredibly talented and her pieces bring such a brightness to any space. We are so inspired by Kate's talent and think that y'all will be as well! 

Kate Freeman Schultz’s incredible creativity becomes tangible when she transfers her bright visions onto a blank canvas. A Jackson, Mississippi native, Kate realized her passion for art while taking art classes in high school. “I wasn’t the best at academics but man did I love and ace every single art class!” laughs Kate. To develop her technique, Kate began taking private art classes from Bob Tompkins while still in high school. Under his guidance, Kate began working with oils to capture a broad range of subjects, from still life to complex nature scenes.  Kate graduated from the University of Mississippi with a Bachelor in Fine Arts with an emphasis in Painting. Currently, Kate lives in Jackson with her husband and fellow artist Justin Schultz. ​

    Kate’s artwork has an undeniable joyful quality, making her pieces perfect for brightening up any space in your home. Inspired primarily by the incredible uniqueness of complex floral arrangements, Kate emulates the movement, colors, and texture of the arrangements in her paintings. Her pieces contain layers of colors and shapes that converge into a stunning image. Her work is the transformation of an ordinary subject matter into a complex depiction of depth and character. Kate’s work functions as a mirror for her passion, “art comes from the depths of your soul and can be so incredibly powerful. It’s a truly amazing way to express yourself. Art lifts me up and makes me truly happy,” smiles Kate.

.Though florals and whimsical botanicals have been her focus for the past two years, Kate has begun to explore painting abstracts that reflect the endless movement of water. “I recently traveled to Northern California for my honeymoon. I was so inspired by the water there. It was like nothing I had ever seen, the colors were breathtaking, absolutely magical!” Kate’s artwork is available for purchase on her website www.kateschultzart.com. Kate also does custom commissioned pieces by request. Keep up with her latest releases by following her on Instagram @katefschultz
