Kat Jarvis (b. 1992 in Athens, GA) is an oil painter creating a symbolic nostalgia deeply tied to her experience as a Black woman, and is rooted in her family’s history.  Her practice explores  materials, from painting on wood and canvas to using found objects and fabric, which add tangible details and texture to the work. Kat utilizes warm earth tones that represent the rich Southern landscape of unpaved red dirt roads connecting her family's community.  She received her BA from Howard University, and earned her MFA from Otis College of Art & Design in 2023. She currently lives and works in San Francisco, CA.
