Kate Crosgrove is a New York City-based American artist. Born in Virginia, Kate taught herself to draw and paint at a young age, earning state-wide recognition and publication in books by the age of 14. Her early achievements marked the beginning of a lifelong pursuit: transforming subconcious vision into visual experiences, that resonate far beyond the canvas.

A graduate of the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia with a BFA in Graphic and Interactive Design, Kate’s artistic voice was shaped by an unusual path. While her formal studies focused on design’s rigor and problem-solving, she nurtured her love for painting and visual narrative on her own terms. This dual mastery became her signature — the ability to create work that is both visually arresting and conceptually deliberate.

In 2009, she exhibited in the Manifest Hope show in Washington, D.C., celebrating the inauguration of Barack Obama. Since then, her art has been featured in prominent exhibitions across New York and at Art Basel Miami, earning her a reputation for work that bridges cultural commentary, visual storytelling, and aesthetic innovation.

Today, Kate’s practice is deeply focused on exploring the intricate landscapes of the subconscious and conscious mind — the management of memories, and emotional currents that shape human experience. Through this lens, her paintings become portals, inviting viewers into layered narratives that remove the boundaries between inner and outer worlds.

Beyond the studio, Kate has led global brand strategy, research & development, and product innovation for acclaimed design houses and consumer brands. This world-class design leadership has informed her artistic process, giving her a rare fluency in both creative vision and the mechanics of bringing ideas to life on an international stage.

Kate continues to create bold, immersive work — a dynamic interplay of beauty, message, and enduring emotional impact.
