MEET THE ARTIST BEHIND THE STUDIO:
KATE RITCHIE
ARTIST BIO
Originally from Salisbury, NC, Kate Ritchie grew up on a horse farm lined with a creek and acres of woods. Kate was put in art classes from the time she was 5 years old where she made crafts in the ‘art room’ in the loft of the barn on her family’s property. She has been making art her whole life and enjoys learning and experimenting with new art techniques. While studying Studio Art at College of Charleston from 2010-2014, she decided to not have a focus and instead took art classes in every medium the college offered. She is now finding ways to combine these techniques to make new and unique pieces of artwork.
Kate Ritchie received a BA in Studio Art and Arts Management at the College of Charleston in 2014. She recently moved overseas to Scotland to study Art Psychotherapy at Queen Margaret University.
