Hi! I’m Katie Joy Smith

I’ve been drawing since I was able to hold a pencil. My small town school didn’t have art until I was senior in High school at which point I was focused on academics. I got a bachelors in Nursing from ASU, but never stopped drawing.  I then got an Associate in Fine art from MCC in 2016. 

My kids and my family are what inspires me. I enjoy more whimsical story telling work. I love the beauty that is seen through a child’s eyes. I apply this to my illustrations.
