Hi, I’m Katie Stack!

Hi! I'm Katie Stack, a Boston-based artist. I work mainly on kids books, surface pattern, and wedding stationery.

After a decade of teaching elementary school, I decided to pursue my long time love of art. Aside from creating my own art, I also work part-time at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and host monthly Art Gym Workshops on Substack. 

My studio assistant is named Auggie, and unfortunately he makes me give priority to all projects focused on dogs. But if you have a non-dog related project, I’ll try to sneak it by him and see if we can work on it together! Reach out via the form below or at my email hello@katiestackillustrates.com.

Clients: American Kennel Club, Minted, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of Western Australia; Discovery Center of the Southern Tier, Jean’s Apothecare; weddings in Aspen, Vermont, Boston, New York, and Jersey; private commissions for family/pet portraits; custom invitations and thank you’s; custom stationery
