Katie Baeten is a creator by trade with an educational superpower. She studied art education at UW-Madison and takes great pride in creating autonomous, empowering, educational environments that are meaningful for students of all ages and abilities. Katie sees her art, and all things, through a lens of constant evolution; a world that cannot forget the past nor deny the future. There isn’t a genre of art she hasn’t spent years immersed in, though she returns most often to painting and woodworking at the farmhouse she and her partner lovingly restored over the last few years.
