I’m Kate Teves

(pronounced “TAY-viss”)

I am a writer and illustrator in South Florida.

In 2018, after twenty years spent working in academia and television, I began illustrating. It came out of nowhere, and it changed my life forever. I discovered, or was reminded, that handmade art honors our most loving selves.

In my work, I draw deeply from my own youth, which was spent putzing around a historic farm in Central New York. I talked to animals and built stuff, on repeat. Nowadays I live in Boca Raton with my very dear husband Christoph who tolerates my farm-raised neuroses like a champ.

Thank you for stopping by,

Kate
