Katie Delay is an interdisciplinary artist, author and educator who lives and works in Northwest Ohio.
A native of Massachusetts, her work is reflective of a Cape Cod childhood spent exploring ponds, woodland, dunes and tidal pools. This experience strongly influenced her commitment to landscape, the environment and conservation. She has a Bachelors Degree in Studio Art from Emmanuel College, Boston, and a Masters Degree in Art Education from the University of Toledo. She has also studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Bowling Green State University, Scuola Internationale di Grafica in Venice, and Tipoteca Italiana Fondazione, in Cornuda, Italy.
Katie works in drawing, painting, and book arts. She teaches drawing and artists book classes in the United States and Mexico, and has been honored with a Regional Award as Outstanding Art Teacher by the Ohio Art Education Association.
She is best known as a creator of Artists Books.
