Kate Humphrey is a lesbian maker currently based in Chicago ( Land Council of the Three Fires). She weaves clay, fibers, and edible ingredients. Each modality is an ingredient of soul nourishment. She manipulates fibers to reground the soul back into the body. 

From tangible hand-woven baskets and clay vessels made for everyday ritual to ephemeral experiences of nourishing food and massage therapy treatment. These are all ingredients of map-making and storytelling to her.

In 2023, she received her Bachelor's in Fine Arts with an Emphasis in Fiber and Material Studies from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She has exhibited in exhibitions throughout Chicago (IL) and Saugatuck (MI) and was a resident at the Penland School of Craft and the Ox-Bow School of Art and Artists’ Longform Residency. She is currently an artist and educator teaching at The Pottery Studio and studying Clinical Massage Therapy at the SOMA Institute of Chicago.
