Katy Bishop is a contemporary abstract painter based in Los Angeles who creates “expressive images,” gestural abstracts that fuse elements of perception, randomness, and control. Katy’s work is inspired by what she feels, not what she sees.
The ethereal fluidity, vibrant color harmonies, and organic movement successfully create a visual language that is both abstract and emotionally evocative. In addition, Katy is known for her use of alcohol ink in reverse painting on plexiglass and glass.
LAVENDER BLOOMS recently won Best of Show in 2025 at the Burbank Art Association Spring Show. In 2024, Katy’s ink on synthetic paper WONDER was awarded First Place – Abstract in the February 2024 BoldBrush Competition.
Her artwork has been juried into the 2024 American Women Artists' annual exhibition at the Loveland Museum, Colorado, the Allied Artists of America 111th Annual Online Exhibition, which is online until September 1, 2025 and The Gold List 2024.
Her work TERRA FIRMA VII was presented with the Golden Award at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum in 2023. That same year, her abstract PROPEL won First Place – Abstract at the Betsy Lueke Gallery in “Rock.Paper.Scissors.Art” juried by Elizabeth Tucker, President of Women Painters West.
Bishop has presented at least one solo exhibition each year since 2023, in Los Angeles and Santa Monica CA. Her artworks have been in group exhibitions in galleries in Los Angeles, Costa Mesa, Burbank, Pasadena, Chicago, Rome, Venice, Tokyo, Istanbul and on many websites.
Katy Bishop is a member of The Los Angeles Art Association, Pasadena Society of Artists, the NWA, the International Association of Art – USA, and American Women Artists. She is on the Boards of Directors of the Southern California Women’s Caucus for Art and The California Art League. Her work can be found in private collections across the country and in Japan.
