Katie Babic is an accomplished Tree-Ring artist based in Vermont, where she has seamlessly integrated her passion for art and nature throughout her life. After earning a master’s degree in counseling and human development and a BA in fine arts and education from St. Lawrence University, she returned to her home state, married her high school sweetheart, and started a family.

In 2020, Katie left her career as a school counselor after 18 years to embark on a transformative journey, dedicating her time to raising her three young children. This pivotal decision let her reconnect with her creative process and led her to explore a unique technique known as "hand-pulling." This term refers to the artist's practice of creating 'one-of-a-kind' individual prints that reflect the natural beauty of Vermont’s native hardwoods.

Through her creative approach, Katie Babic shares a heartfelt connection to her environment, capturing the essence of nature's hidden gems. Her work invites others to appreciate and enjoy the beauty that surrounds us.
