    Katy Allgeyer

    Visual Artist

    About the artist: Katy Allgeyer was born in New Hampshire and attended art school at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. After college, Katy became a leading fashion designer for Liz Claiborne. Katy's knitwear design expertise ranged from fine gauge machine knit head-to-toe dressing to bulky hand knit intarsia sweaters that were often likened to "wearable art". Katy traveled to Asia more than 100 times on business trips. Extensive traveling influenced her global outlook and sparked an interest in exploring themes of “location” in the artist's latest fine art pieces. Following 16 years on the west coast, Katy recently relocated from Los Angeles, California to the east coast. She maintains a winter studio in High Point, North Carolina and a summer studio in Stonington, Maine where she resides with life partner Scott Morgan and their dog Loolie.

    Katy is a recognized feng shui master as well as a fine artist and frequently combines the two practices. In 2003, Katy’s conceptual installation “WALL OF LOVE: The Art of Feng Shui” was featured in a solo exhibition in Berlin, Germany and included in the international Kunstkreuz “Love & Peace” art festival. This installation featured 99 individual “Love Power Heart” paintings. Each “Love Power Heart” was painted using Feng Shui concepts of color, placement, and symbolism. Every painting was infused with a powerful Peace Meditation and included directions on where to hang in home or office to activate good Feng Shui ch’i (energy).

    Katy’s award winning work has been exhibited in galleries on both coasts as well as in group shows at the Cornell Museum in Florida and the Coos Art Museum in Oregon. Katy works in acrylic paint, oil sticks, mixed media, and assemblage and happily accepts commissioned projects.

    ARTIST'S STATEMENT:


    My latest series is about the implications of location on one’s physical self, emotional self, and imagined self. Is where we are situated on the location of a map as significant as where we find ourselves to be within our own spirit/body at any given moment? Are we a direct result of our environmental surroundings or do we bring our interior landscapes with us wherever we go? Is what we remember of where we have been an accurate representation of who we are or are we recreating a mythical self, seen through our mind’s filter? This is what interests me now.
