Katey Hindes is a Midwest-based graphic and traditional artist whose creative journey has recently shifted towards the art licensing industry. After years in advertising, Katey has embraced a fresh focus with a new brand, Kitsch & Curate. A playful homage to the classic saying, "a little bit country, a little bit rock and roll," Kitsch & Curate is all about merging contrasting styles with a wink and a nod to nostalgia. The brand’s name captures the essence of Katey’s artistic approach—where retro vibes meet modern sensibilities in a way that feels both fun and timeless.

With Kitsch & Curate, Katey channels the energy of both the modern and traditional worlds, blending high-brow sophistication with low-brow charm. The art features bold color palettes, graphic patterns, and a mix of quirky motifs that dance between the familiar and the unexpected. Whether designing for product lines, licensing collaborations, or print media, Kitsch & Curate brings a sense of playful contradiction—classic and contemporary, refined and rebellious, wild and mild, with an irreverent twist.

Known for their vibrant, retro-inspired style and modern design sensibility, Katey brings an infectious energy to every piece. Their work reflects a deep understanding of design’s power to connect with audiences, making the ordinary extraordinary.
