counterweights
This series is an illustration of the idea of counterweights: anything that helps balance heaviness with hope. As author, Shannon Martin shares, “Each day brings weights and counterweights. Being fully alive means carrying both.” This collection is about just this – carrying both.
Pieces in this collection depict opposite ends of the balance: things that burden and things that lift. Signature stacked shapes, bold palettes, and bending flowers reflect Katie’s classic style of balancing color blocks with movement. Katie’s hope is that these pieces serve as reminders of the brightness that exists despite daily darkness and how the balance will always tip toward Love.
