Hi I'm Katy

I've always loved creating thing - art, stories, dinner, little houses made out of recycled boxes. Really, just give me a pile of scraps and tell me to make a treehouse. So, that's what I'm doing! Creating. Always learning. Seeking connection to nature, people, and art. I live outside of Chicago with my family and a bunch of thirsty house plants.

The Backstory on Art

I fell in love with watercolors when I decided to hand paint over 100 invitations for my own wedding in 2016. I had no idea you could paint something and get it copied at the printer, so instead I spent close to 40 hours hand painting and hand lettering invitations with the help of my almost-husband and some very dedicated friends. The 100th wedding invitation was the one I sent to my own mother, while my best friend received the first. There was a very big difference, let me assure you.

 

Since then, I bought better watercolors and learned how to paint using online tutorials and practicing and failing a lot. I GOT BETTER. I also had two babies and found great peace and purpose in becoming a proficient painter. My friends started asking me for custom pieces - wedding stationary, portraits, maps - and I liked the new challenges. I started Katy Rose Mosi Art in 2020 because tangible beauty is satisfying to the soul and watercolors get us there. We need more of that.
