MFA Fine Arts

Kat Jarvis (b. 1992 in Athens, GA) is an oil painter creating a symbolic nostalgia deeply tied to her experience as a Black woman, and is rooted in her family’s history. Her practice explores materials, from painting on wood and canvas to using found objects and fabric, which add tangible details and texture to the work. Kat utilizes warm earth tones that represent the rich Southern landscape of unpaved red dirt roads connecting her family's community. She currently lives and works in Los Angeles.
