Welcome to my digital space! I offer musings about life accompanied with introspection. I like creating art and writing about what that work means to me. I was never interested in social media. I was that person no one could get a hold of because I was late to the cell phone and social media era. But I began posting on Facebook when I turned 30 due to an illness. My adventures came to a halt and I suddenly found myself limited to sitting and laying down most days. So I picked up my phone and began connecting to people on Facebook and Instagram.

My posts were commented on, liked, and shared a lot on those platforms. I then took a three year social media hiatus due to people constantly contacting me to be an influencer for their businesses. It felt a little icky because I didn't really know what was happening. So I left social media to work on some personal endeavors and get grounded in what I wanted my daily agenda to look like. Having come back, it seems a website that serves as a hub for some art and writing where my people can find me has been begging to formulate. I am a bit old school so keeping up with all the algorithms and meta changes is overstimulating. A blog is more my speed. I want to write books a lot, connect with genuine people a lot, and paint a little. So, here we are.

 I like giving my original art away to friends and family. But I have been asked for prints and commissioned work sometimes so I have art on the website too. If you see something on Instagram or Facebook that isn't yet on the site, just shoot me a DM or email. I would be happy to discuss how we can get it hung in its rightful space. I will be doing some art giveaways to email subscribers as well. I like giving things I made to people because I love getting handmade things from people. So be sure to get on the email list if you like that too.

 I am currently focused on writing my first memoir and seeking representation from an agent. I hope you enjoy browsing around my site. Thank you for stopping in. If you have questions, you can reach me via Instagram @KateKarpelWilsey, friend me on Facebook, or subscribe to my email list where I will only send one email a month to share some freebies, give updates on my book launch, or stay connected to you about creative happenings and launches.

With Gratitude, 

Kate
