Gallery
Portraits that honour difference, dignity and belonging.
Each portrait celebrates the faces, stories and lived experiences of people born with cleft around the world. Through portraiture, I invite you to look beyond the diagnosis and recognise the beauty, individuality and humanity of every person represented.
Created in partnership with Smile Train, the portraits featured in this gallery form part of my ongoing body of work that uses art to encourage understanding, celebrate identity and bring greater visibility to people born with cleft around the world.
Commission A Portrait
Every portrait begins with a conversation.
If these portraits have spoken to you, Katie would love to hear your story.
Every commissioned portrait begins with listening. Through conversation, shared memories and thoughtful collaboration, Katie creates artwork that reflects the person beyond the diagnosis, revealing something of their character, relationships, and beautifully individual spirit.
Whether you are welcoming a new baby, celebrating how far someone has come or honouring a journey that deserves to be remembered, each portrait is created with care, compassion and deep respect for the person at its heart.
