Kateri Ewing is a writer and artist who works at the luminous edge of the ordinary—where a moth’s wing, a broken acorn, or a single seedhead can become a doorway into wonder. Her work is shaped by reverence for the natural world and a deep belief in the power of presence. Whether with pencil or pen, brush or word, she gathers what the world offers quietly—writing or drawing to remember, to bear witness, and to praise.
As a visual artist working in graphite, charcoal, and watercolour, she draws from the ponds, fields, and woodlands near her home in Western New York. Her work is represented by Meibohm Fine Arts, has been exhibited internationally, and is held in private collections as well as The Ruskin Collection at Museums Sheffield. Each drawing is a visual poem—an invitation to pause, to see more clearly, and to fall into the beauty that hides in plain sight.
Kateri is also an international teacher and mentor, having guided thousands of students around the world in developing their own creative practices. She is the author of three bestselling books on the creative practice, and her teaching, like her art, centres on attentiveness, gentleness, and the quiet joy of making. She believes creativity is not a luxury for the chosen few, but a way for everyone to remember what it means to be fully alive.
She lives with her love, writer Rick Ohler, where she is currently writing a book about grief, wonder, and the sacredness of the everyday. She also writes the Substack newsletter fleeting, breathing human things, a quiet corner of the world filled with essays, poetry, and reflections on what it means to be here.
