Katie Jacobs

Visual Art – Cincinnati

My name is Katie Jacobs, and I was born and raised in Cincinnati, OH. I am currently a college student and am majoring in art education. I fell in love with art at a young age, and want nothing more than to share my love for art with others. I hope to teach art at the high school level to help students to chase their dreams of becoming an artist, just like my teachers helped me. I enjoy exploring different types of medias to create new and unique works of art, but I work mostly with acrylics and watercolor. I also spend a lot of time during the summer painting murals. I have painted many children\'s themed murals in elementary and middle schools around the area where I live. I started a Facebook page called Mural By Katie to share my murals with as many people as I can. Aside from art, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. One of my favorite things to do is go boating at different lakes with my family. Not only do I get to enjoy wake boarding, surfing, and tubing, but the lake scenery has provided me with tons of inspiration for my art. I love art and I love to be outdoors, so I combine the two whenever I can!
