Abstract art for those who find beauty in the unexpected

I’m Katherine Faroh, a Charlotte-based abstract artist creating intuitive, layered paintings that explore the space between chaos and calm. Through movement, texture, bold color, and touches of gold, my work invites you to slow down, feel first, and discover your own meaning within the unexpected.

✨ SPIRITBORNE FROM THE ROOT⁠ ⁠ There’s a presence embedded in this piece — intentionally placed, then partially hidden.⁠ ⁠ A face emerges from the surface, not as a portrait, but as something ancient and watchful, as if it has always been

Just finished Make Art or Die Trying by Stuart Semple, and my brain feels like it went down a rabbit hole in the best way. This book isn’t about technique — it’s about permission. Permission to experiment, to question what art even
Where the Moss Breathes (16×20)⁠ ⁠ I painted this after a walk through the park, taking in the range of greens I kept noticing—soft, deep, muted, and alive in different ways. The piece came from sitting with that quiet moment and letting

The Shape of Letting Go (20×24)⁠ ⁠ This piece developed through techniques I learned in an online course with @yourarie. While the final work looks distinctly my own, the class offered new ways to think about form, restraint, and negative space
Electric Motion (16x20) I added the neon as a nod to that unmistakable ’90s feeling—bold, a little chaotic, and hard to ignore. Paired with deeper tones, it creates a push-and-pull that mirrors how energy moves through everyday life. Wh
