ABOUT

I'm Kat Trevino and my design studio creates art for clients of business and personal needs.

- From Photo Alterations, to Graphics, Logo, Web Design, Fine Art or Commercial Print -

Let me help you make your visions a reality.

IN HER WORDS...

I create what moves me and ignites the imagination. Every piece I make is part of my

artistic passage.

I am a multiple medium artist; I use various methods to create. I sculpt in clay and

metal, I paint and I enhance photography to a digital artform.

I like to combine processes and create multi-medium pieces.

Many pieces I create are self-portraits as I emerge myself fully in my works.

My artwork is surreal, taking you out of the norm and into another state of mind.

The imagery I create is of beautiful Kaos where hope prevails.

Every piece tells a different story to its audience. Where some feel pain, others joy and

love, where some feel darkness others find light.

But everyone enjoys the journey they take through my eyes.

I have been blessed with a creative soul.

I create and exhibit fine art that has traveled the world at the finest museums and

galleries.

I am a muralist and sculptor that have graced our cities from the deserts to the ocean.

I am a fashion designer with my clothing & Jewelry line modeled by top models in

fashion shows from LA to New York.

I've been asked which is my true passion.

Every medium is like my child, I love them all. They are all a part of me and what drives

my artistic journey.

Hi Kat, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
We’re all born Artists; I walked the path given to me. After college I was a professional graphic artist, creating websites, animation, logos, billboards and book/magazine covers.
I began exhibiting my art beginning with drawings, then paintings, sculpting to digital photography where I’ve found my new vision. My art style is surreal or ‘Katmospheres’ as I refer to them as my own movement. Taking dream like imagery in a real-life form transporting us to new worlds of beauty and hope.
I have exhibited my art in prestigious galleries around the world connecting with diverse audiences and inspiring fellow artists.
I have received many honors and awards for my exhibits and public art murals and metal sculptures that covers southern California from Palm Springs to Los Angeles. I was presented with an achievement award from L.A. for beautifying the valley and raising the quality of life through Art.
In 2022 I was honored with the title: “Best Artist of the Year’ by (BOLA) Best of L.A.. Most recently in January chosen by True Icon Magazine for pushing the boundaries of creativity.
I have successfully ventured into the fashion world collaborating with top models to create a unique fashion line that seamlessly blends art and Fashion. Four years highlighted at L.A. Fashion Week with 2 solos showcasing my art and the fashion created from it as well as the jewelry line, where you can ‘be the art’

Headlining with the branding of “YOU’RE A WORK OF ART’ wear art – be art – The ART of FITNESS

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Dedicating your life as an Artist does have it’s challenges. Constantly networking, creating, and expanding your boundaries in all mediums is the key. Every new medium I take on I have to establish myself and my work by developing it to the level of the highest professionalism.

She painstakingly selects and combines different elements from each photograph to craft her final image. It's a labor of love that can take hours or even weeks, reflecting her deep commitment to her craft.

Commission picks artist to represent city on Acrisure Arena mural wall

A city sponsorship of $10,000 is required for the mural, with most of the money going to supplies for the artist. Funds will come from a budget for grants and sponsorships.

BY KENDALL BALCHAN ● ARTS & CULTURE ● SEPTEMBER 9, 2022

The Palm Springs Public Arts Commission voted unanimously this week to have local artist Kat Trevino paint the mural representing Palm Springs inside the 10,000-seat Acrisure Arena currently under construction in Thousand Palms.

First things first: Representatives from the future home of both concerts and the new American Hockey League team, the Coachella Valley Firebirds, asked that each of the valley’s nine choose an artist to design and paint a 20-foot-high, 10-foot-wide mural for the arena’s Iceplex — the public ice rink inside the arena. The collection of murals could be viewed annually by an estimated 200,000 people.

Members of the Palm Springs City Council were poised to choose the artist at last week’s Council meeting but opted to have the Public Arts Commission pick the artist instead.
“Whatever design is decided, it should be reflective of our city, not just something generically ‘desert-oriented,’” Mayor Lisa Middleton remarked, stressing that a local artist should get the chance to paint the mural.

“Palm Springs has a very unique and distinct look. It’s known for its mid-century modern architecture, pool parties, fun, entertainment, and excitement. We don’t want some generic cactus or desert scene.” — Commissioner Russell Pritchard.
The news: Arts commissioners took those concerns to heart when choosing between Autumn Martino, Ryan Campbell, mother-daughter duo Linda Shrader and Echo Westover, and Kat Trevino.

Kat Trevino poses last year next to a traffic equipment box she painted in Downtown Palm Springs.

Meet Kat: Trevino was recommended by Pritchard because he said her designs “capture a vibrancy” of the city. He also pointed out that her work is already visible on installations around town, including on a bench at the Palm Springs Convention Center and a utility box at Indian Canyon and Amado.

Trevino grew up in Palm Desert and has exhibited her work all over the world. She also teaches master classes at the Desert Art Center.

By the numbers: A city sponsorship of $10,000 is required for the mural, with most of the money going to supplies for the artist. Funds will come from a budget for grants and sponsorships.

Up next: Trevino will work on several proposals for a design and the commissioners will pick one to recommend at their meeting on Sept. 21. The city manager and city attorney will have the final say on the design, not the Council.
