Arrowknot Studios’ Katie Aronat Celebrated as ClearStory Arts’ Featured Artist

Chattanooga’s Vibrant Art Scene Comes Alive

Redolent with the spirit of creativity, Chattanooga buzzes with artistry in spades. Central to the city’s vitality, ClearStory Arts is renowned for its ever-evolving roster of local talent. This month, the spotlight proudly illuminates Katie Aronat of Arrowknot Studios, encouraging art enthusiasts and newcomers alike to take a deep dive into a kaleidoscope of cut-out artworks.

Delving into the World of Katie Aronat

An alumna with a degree in Design|Media Arts, Aronat spent an impressive half a decade in graphic design and motion graphics, and later, notably ventured into Project Management. Despite her rigorous professional commitments, she remained tethered to her creativity, embarking on several passion projects, most of which showcased her prowess with a die-cutting machine. After finding inspiration in the art world, specifically from her artistic hero, Sophie Tea, her fingerprints first graced a paintbrush in 2022. The resultant abstract paintings brimming with colors became the stepping stones to her unique artistry. Utilizing her design background and vast experience with the die-cutting machine, Aronat unveiled her first experiment with cut-out artwork in January 2023. An ardent adventurer in the world of art, she continually explores how overlapping material silhouettes can engender dimensions in her pieces.

A Gift of Love

In a heartwarming gesture, Aronat will be giving away a mini mirror heart from her lauded “Self-Love Affirmation” collection. The lucky visitor who accomplishes the feat of covering all open studios stands a chance to walk away with this delightful token of appreciation.
