Katie Geppert is a Melbourne-based visual artist creating watercolour portraits, dreamy skies, and abstract works that explore presence, memory, and emotional intensity.

Katie began painting as a child in Brisbane and later studied film and design before moving to Melbourne in 2004. While travelling through Europe the following year, she reconnected with painting, and it has stayed with her ever since.

Her distinct watercolours caught the attention of fashion designer Virgil Abloh in 2015, leading to creative collaborations with Off-White™ across garments, storefronts, and media campaigns. Her work was later included in Abloh’s Figures of Speech exhibition at the MCA in Chicago (2019) and featured during a panel talk at ACMI (2018).

Over the years, Katie’s practice has moved between pop iconography, personal memory, and expressive abstraction. Her paintings have appeared in group exhibitions at BSIDE Gallery, Off the Kerb, and Honey Bones, as well as solo shows at Pulse and Polyester Records. She's also received commissions from private collectors, musicians, and creative brands.

Katie currently lives and works in Melbourne, drawing inspiration from sky watching, quiet moments with her dog Eddy, and the desire to make art that feels both intimate and expansive. She’s an active part of the local art scene and regularly volunteers at ACCA.

Whether working on a pet portrait, a large-scale abstract, or a new series of originals, Katie’s practice is about reconnecting with emotion, place, and presence, and inviting others to do the same.
