Kate Aurelia Holloway is an artist and designer based in Salem, Massachusetts. Using color stories gathered from her travels near and far, intentional mark-making and abstracted natural forms, her compositions blend the easy rhythm of nature with the simple joys of the everyday.

Growing up near the coast with a deep affinity for the outdoors, Kate learned to spot beauty in ordinary things. Whether it was collecting shells and stones along the water’s edge, or wandering tree-shadowed trails looking for treasures, those moments still guide her artistic hand. Many pieces begin as quick sketches of natural objects pocketed on a sandy walk or colors recorded in her travel sketchbook, growing into larger works in the studio.

Her aim is to paint how a sunny afternoon feels, or how a newly sprouted flower can lift a mood. By layering abstract florals and coastal forms in inviting palettes, she creates pockets of visual breathing room that feel both calming and joyful.

Guided by the belief that art’s power grows when shared, Kate continues to explore how color and natural form can soften a space, open conversation, and remind us that beauty lives in everyday moments.
