About the Creator
Katelan Foisy is a visual artist, spiritual reader, healer, and model based out of NYC. She studied illustration at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn NY and started her career in the communication arts shortly after graduating in 2001. Her mixed media collages often evoke a gamut of emotion through the rich layers and textural combinations. She is known to use herself as well as her friends in her pieces manipulating faces and bodies to create new characters. This process eventually lead her to create “They Be We” a self portrait project. Her fine art pieces have been displayed at The Worcester Art Museum, Ohio History Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art DC, Museum of Design Atlanta (MODA), Mae West Fest, as well as the A&D gallery in London. Her illustration clients have included, The Grammy Awards, Out magazine, Scholastic, and The Progressive. She is also the art director and one of the creators (with Sherene) of Constellation Magazine and co-owner of Knickerbocker Circus Publications.
