About Kate Heyd: Born outside of Pittsburgh, PA, Kate was introduced to art by her father, a local architect. They began visiting the Carnegie Museum of Art where she was first drawn to painting. She marveled at the artists’ ability to draw the viewer into their works filled with color and light. They continued studying the works at the Museums and began trips to the local cathedrals, where she marveled at the light-filled stained glass and the fine gothic details of the architecture. Kate took classes at her local art center as well as at the museums she used to frequent. These visits and classes led her to receive a BA with a concentration in Painting from Pennsylvania State University in 1995.
After college, Kate moved to Massachusetts with her husband. She traveled to Europe several times, visiting Ireland, Germany, and Italy. The Florence Cathedral’s numerous glimmering gold frescoes and immense gothic dome, as well as Germany's quaint Bavarian towns and sun filled plazas, inspired her to include more light in her paintings.
Currently, Kate is a friend of the Fountain Street Fine Art Gallery and an active member of the Women’s Art Forum (now the Creative Circles - Art for All!) in Hopkinton. She envisioned the Whitehall Artisans Open Studio Tour in Hopkinton, 2015. Two years later the program continues to expand with new fine artists and craft artisans.
She has also been a member of the Westboro Gallery in Massachusetts and the Fountain Street Studios. Her works have been exhibited in various galleries and juried shows throughout Boston's MetroWest communities. Her paintings and photographs are in private collections from the northeast and the mid-west to the west and beyond. She has also managed the Gallery in the Square and the Rena Haveson Gallery (both in Pittsburgh) and served as the director of the non-profit arts organization, Cultural Arts Alliance (now the Hopkinton Center for the Arts) in Hopkinton, MA.
