Kate Swann is an illustrator and surface pattern designer who draws upon the everyday world around her, with a good helping of inspiration from mid century modern aesthetics and kitschy, maximalist home interiors. She creates art prints that are fun, colorful, and often nostalgic. Kate’s work invites viewers to find joy in the mundane by presenting recognizable objects in playful ways, and this often prompts a personal connection with her audience as they draw upon their own associations with the subjects. She sees art as an opportunity to make people’s spaces a bit brighter and cozier with her designs.
Originally from New England, Kate currently lives in Spokane, Washington where she keeps finding new adventures.
You can also find her work on Instagram and Spoonflower. She is actively seeking licensing opportunities and would love to work with you! Feel free to email with inquiries or ideas at contact@kateswann.net.
