Welcome!

Hi! I'm Katie, artist and creator of queenikathleeni designs. I wear a lot of creative hats and there is a good chance that I can help you with your design needs.

The perfect wedding gift or 1 year anniversary present. The final pieces are 11x14" originals on cold press paper and the custom details in these pieces are so special. I hand paint the bride's dress and bouquet so that the lace detailing or shimmer in the dress is included. I love how special these are to you 👰🏼Currently booking custom pieces for August.

A yellow ice cream cone 🍦 because I had a special request. Does this not scream summer?! 💛 I'll add this one to my shop along with the 2 other colors.

"This world is not made of shades of grey. It is made of colors like azure and coral and emerald and marigold. But it insists on painting everything in black and white and fitting it into boxes that it understands. Do not do that to yourself. Paint your personality in a million different colors. Leave them scratching their heads, unsure of how to handle the magic that you are." -Nikita Gill "Colours" 🙌🏻 photo: @emily_jeffords

Minnesota summer nights are just magical don't you agree? ✨💫 I'm looking for ways to slow down this summer and enjoy it to the very last drop. What are some of your favorite ways to enjoy summer in Minnie...share them with me in the comments 👇🏻

A little insta sale to end a great day filled with creating. $20 (typically $30) for this mini original abstract on paper! Comment with your email and SOLD to purchase. I'll send you an invoice and ship it out ASAP.

The Artist's Manifesto 🎨 (a good daily reminder for any artist or anyone wanting to take the leap 👩🏼‍🎨)
I am an artist.
I am tired of ignoring my true calling and god-given talents for the sake of conformity and pleasing others, in a world where so few dare to live their dreams. Today I embrace my most inner desires to be artistic, audacious, admired and notoriously brave. Enough for denying my love for the creativity and my urge to be unique. Today I surrender to the need to be surrounded by beauty in all forms that represents the authenticity of my talents. I am now defining and choosing my life purpose as an artist and refuse to spend the rest of my precious days pursuing anything that isn't aligned with that purpose. I am ready and open to follow the success paths which are unfolding in front of me at this very moment. I will not be denied. As I write this, the right people and the right circumstances are shifting to recognize my passion and ingenuity, as the universe conspires to bring me the perfect opportunities for wealth, happiness, and peace. I will not be deviated from my purpose of art and self-expression. And I will not shrink or diminish when people laugh at my views and artistic ambitions. I am a deserving, admired, thriving artist. So it is and so it will be.

Happy Saturday! I hope you all are enjoying your weekend. I don't get a lot of "true" Saturday/Sunday weekends because I usually work straight through them so when I do, I really appreciate them. This weekend I'm in Kentucky with Nick's extended family and today was a really good day at Buffalo Trace distillery. It's so nice to get away physically and mentally. 📷 @floretflower

She kind of blends right in 🍃🌿🌱 #qkinreallife I love these so much so you can see where I imagine my girls live.

I just had to have this print in green because that has been my color of choice this summer. You guys seem to love it too. I also have this one available in gold foil in my shop. I'm thinking of blowing this one up and custom framing it for our new home 🏡 Thoughts?

A snap from last night's garden tour. My mom has the greenest thumb and it wasn't something I've inherited yet but I'm always trying to take time to learn about her passion. She is the most selfless person I've ever met. Happy birthday weekend mama. I'm so glad you are mine. @karilmaril

Hey I'm Katie and at the beginning of this year I changed my mission statement, my why, and it has changed everything for me. Everyday is powered by my why. Four years ago I was spending every night drawing with this big dream that I could make a living drawing. I had no idea how hard that would be but more so, I had no idea how many people would bless me along this journey. For so long I was focused on the making a living part and I forgot about the real reason I am here with this creative gift. I believe I was given this gift to connect and bring joy to others. I also brought back my custom illustrations at the beginning of this year so that I could get back to my roots. Now I spend my days drawing other people, just like I spent so many of those late nights when I first started sketching. I can't think of a better way to spend my days; illustrating your most special moments. And of course how we spend our days is how we spend our life. This is way more than I could've ever imagined four years ago and I'm just getting started. I've tagged some amazing boss babes that have helped me make it this far. #forvergrateful

Not sure why I am at my most happy when styling my coffee table on a Sunday ✨🍾🙌🏻#thesimplethings ps. Everything is 25% off in my shop with the code MOVEIT25 excludes custom work

Light dancing on one of my recent paintings. 💫✨There is inspiration all around us, it's just up to you to take the time to appreciate it.
