kate roebuck is an artist and designer practicing + residing in east tennessee. she graduated with a bfa from university of georgia in 2009, where upon graduating, she began to design for hable construction. kate went on to pursue a career in fine art and in 2013 began a solo studio practice.  kate creates large-scale graphic paintings heavily rooted in form, motif, color, and contrast. exploring the world through the liquidity of watercolor allows her to move without tension and pushback. her practice therefore becomes both a foil and encouragement to her life as a working artist and mother, one in which rhythm takes over and she is free to chase the boundary between art and life.
