Self Portrait - 2021

Katarina Bloomingdale


Is a non-binary, neurodivergent artist living and working in Fitchburg, Ma. They completed their BA at Framingham State University in 2016 with a major in Studio Arts, a concentration in Painting, and a double minor in Art history and English.

Katarina is primarily a painter, but uses many mediums to create due to the nature of their neurodivergence. These include, but aren’t limited to oil, acrylic, gouache, digital and watercolor for paintings as well as crochet and knitting. Their art focuses on navigating the world and finding joy as well as beauty through the lens of a person who is frequently left outside the social norms due to their neurodivergence, gender identity and long term side effects of chemo therapy.

They are currently building their portfolio after having to take a long break due to cancer and recovery.
