Update:
Stunt Artist Katie Hollinshead will now also be presenting at the webinar.
Katie is a Fine Artist with a realist’s eye, a colourist’s soul, and an adventurer’s heart.
Artist Since 2013, I've commissioned many many fine artworks. And now, you'll notice I'm creating a lot of art inspired by my love of flight. Explore my artwork here.
Storytelling Art isn't just what we see. It's what made us need to create it in the first place. I'm bringing real stories to life through fine art.
Adventure I live for a wild, feral adventure. There's something magnetic about following curiosity wherever it leads. You will often find me jumping out of planes or launching myself off mountains.
Collaboration I never wanted this to be just about me creating art in isolation. So I'm collaborating with other visionary creatives and wild spirits to bring you projects blending art and adventure.
I want to open the door to what's possible with a bit of creativity, collaboration and fun.
This is why I founded The Stunt Artists creative studio:
