The Cadence Collection

At last, the Cadence Collection has arrived! With a refreshing palette of turquoise drenched in sunshine, this collection led me on a chase through ideas of permanence, impermanence, beauty and fault lines. When I painted these pieces, I had no idea how appropriate the timing would be. I hope these paintings bring you beauty, peace & solace, today and always.

I Paint Joy

Hi there, friend. I’m Katie Podracky, an impressionist painter from North Carolina. I paint joy, hope and resilience with beautiful color and I can teach you how to do it too. My lively, bright work elevates beautiful memories and connections that matter. Nature and family adventures inspire my paintings and art prints.

My paintings have been described as full of “uninhibited joy,” and my work is collected across the United States and featured in the permanent collections of four universities and multiple corporations.

I release new collections of original work and prints for sale throughout the year. To know when new pieces arrive and shop before the public, join my Studio Insiders List here.
