Katie Dumestre Yaquinto is a contemporary artist living and working in New Orleans. She attended the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and LSU where she studied fashion design and merchandising.
My work primarily focuses on introspection. My practice allows me to process and express my inner most thoughts and feelings through various brush strokes and mark making. These distinctive marks have become my own private visual language and have developed over time through body movement and muscle memory. The ability to turn emotion into something active and engaging is what I’m striving for daily.
