Katie Gamb: Small Solo

March 7 - 29, 2026

Katie Gamb lives and paints in a small, cozy corner of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She works primarily in the traditional techniques of oil and graphite, crafting small-scale windows to other worlds. She is known for imbuing her work with sweetness and just the right hint of darkness. Her love of narrative and nature informs her art, which is influenced by the stories she immersed herself in as a shy, bookish child. She particularly enjoys studying tiny ecosystems that often go unnoticed, creating backstories and personalities for the creatures she comes across. Since graduating in 2009 from Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design with a BFA in Illustration, she has illustrated two children's books and has participated in numerous solo and group shows both nationally and internationally.
