Description

Katie’s work focuses largely on the nuances of kinesics, or nonverbal communication.  Her part time work as a Personal Support Worker fuels her interest in authentic exchange and the subtleties of expression that follow. She began her career in fine arts after journeying to Jingdezhen, China. Considered to be the porcelain capital of the world, Katie became fascinated by the nuances of this rare, filtered earth and its similarities to the flesh of our own bodies. She now makes work that comments on the subtleties of communication.

About The Artist

Studio Klemieux

Katie Lemieux was born in Thunder Bay, Ontario. She holds an Honors in Fine Arts in ceramics from Lakehead University in 2016 and a Masters in Fine Arts from the Peck School of the Arts in Wisconsin, Milwaukee (2019). In 2015 Katie was invited to participate in a six week residency at the renowned Jingdhezhen Facility in the province of Jiangxi, China. Visiting the birthplace of the ancient ceramic art form was a humbling experience for Katie, where she discovered listening to the clay body is as important as commanding it. She has exhibited in group shows in Canada, the USA and Europe, with recent exhibitions in Croatia (Ladica Ex Tempore, 2015) and Busan, South Korea (Hello Artist 열린 예술 공간, 2021). Since her Masters, Katie has moved back home to Thunder Bay and works as an artist. She also works as a Personal Support Worker with young adults. Her social work continues to drive her artistic narrative as she works in her at-home studio.
