Kathryn Hempel is an interdisciplinary artist, Emmy award-winning film editor, VP/Partner of Cutters Studios, and a MFA graduate from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She committed to making a new piece of art, then photographing it, and sharing it with friends online every day in 2022, 2017, and 2013. Through daily observations, experimental mark-making, and stream of consciousness, the public daily art practice led to the creation of over a thousand smaller-scale paintings, drawings, collages, and sculptures, and a series of more extensive works, such as the International Equal Pay Alphabet.

During the spring and summer of 2024, Hempel will exhibit her work and teach fabric painting workshops at the Bei Koc gallery in Hannover, Germany, and SD Studios in Berwyn, IL. Her art has been published in and on the front and back covers of the Nerve Cowboy journal of poetry, fiction, and music and is the cover art on The Counterfactual, Throw it Away, and The Imperial Sound, The New AM. Hempel’s art has also been featured on the sets of independent feature films and commercial motion picture productions.
