Katie Rodgers' advice for artists on connecting with their inner voice

In the latest episode of Arts to Hearts Podcast, Charuka Arora sits down with the fantastic Katie Rodgers. In the world of fashion, Katie has made a name for herself because of her paper fashion and use of water colors. Now, she is reconnecting to her roots by solely focusing on her imaginative play with the natural world. Katie started as a fashion illustrator in New York and created the website Paper Fashion in 2009. From working with renowned brands like Estée Lauder, Samsung, and Clé de Peau Beauté to working with Alicia Keys, the Boston Ballet, and the Screen Actors Guild, she has built an extensive portfolio. Her work has also been featured in Harper’s Bazaar, Elle Magazine, Vanity Fair, and The New York Times. Katie has worked in a variety of mediums including 3D installations, illustrative pastels, and animation for commercial projects as well as fine art. She spent around 9 years in New York, before she realized that the life she has built is too fast paced. In this episode, Katie talks about all her accomplishments and the work she has done over the past decade, and what prompted her to change directions. It’s not easy to build a successful life and then pack it all up to start all over again, but Katie did it! While Katie’s art brought her clients and created a stable life for her in New York, she has always felt more connected with nature. Camping and traveling are some of the things where she feels free, and deep down, she always longed for that slow, mindful life. For Katie, it’s important to listen to her inner voice as she talks about the challenges she faced when she made the decision to move to the countryside. In Katie, every artist can find that inspiration to keep evolving, even if it means leaving behind everything they have ever known.
