About
Katie Geppert is a Melbourne-based visual artist working primarily in watercolour and oil painting.
Her practice moves between portraiture and abstraction with a focus on presence, perception, and emotion.
After studying and working in film and design, Geppert returned to painting following extended travel through Europe. Her watercolours came to international attention in 2015, leading to ongoing collaborations with Virgil Abloh c/o Off-White™, including textile designs, product collaborations, and inclusion in the “Figures of Speech” exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago (2019).
Geppert’s work has been exhibited in solo and group shows across Melbourne and collected internationally.
