In addition to teaching basketry workshops I am a practicing artist. Through intricate woven sculptures, watercolor paintings, and mixed media work I explore varied themes including material transformation, lineage, cycles of nature, and the voices of plants. See portfolio page for more.






About Katie Grove
Going out into the forests and fields, harvesting materials from nature, and sitting down in the sun to weave a basket is my idea of a perfect day! I am an artist and educator based in the Hudson Valley of New York and my passion is to create art that is inspired by nature. I also teach nature-based art workshops on basketry and plant dyes, where I create an environment in which individuals can explore self-expression while learning how to identify, use, and appreciate locally available natural materials. When I’m not teaching I am either working on my fine art, participating in gallery shows and residencies, or traveling.
