meet the founder, Katelynn
my story:
I’ve been a creative, goal-driven, art lovin’, introvert my entire life. I grew up in Tulsa, OK and fell in love with art early on. I went on to study painting and sculpture in art school and learned about the art world from interning and working in various art non-profits, museums, and art centers. After I graduated, the art school hired me to help guide and support students and prospective students. I co-founded a local emerging artist collective that is still active today with 70 members based in the Oklahoma City metro.
That’s where I found my passion of helping other creatives. Working and connecting with other artists, sharing resources and ideas, and elevating as a community is how we succeed in this field. I created Art Friends as a way to build and stay connected to an expansive community, share what I have learned along the way, and grow together.
