Our Doomsday Story

This skateboard design is inspired by global warming and the rise of oil, and greedy countries that have destroyed this beautiful planet. It's all about the warming of the earth and how if we continue doing what we are doing we're going to end up killing ourselves and our planet  and everything that we admire about it will be gone, like the animals and everything. 

I’ve been doing art ever since I was 5 or 6. I had a brain tumor when I was 8, and it left me legally blind and partially paralyzed on my left side. I find art very therapeutic and relaxing. I began my journey in art with using soft chalk pastels. I then moved on to watercolors, and stuck with that. I sometimes will get tired of watercolors and I enjoy experimenting with different mediums. I attend TURN City Center for the Arts five days a week to further my development as an artist, and also teach a watercolors class there twice a month.

Katie has displayed artwork in exhibits at TURN City Center for the Arts, Art Access, Bountiful Davis Art Center, the Utah State Fair, Sandy Visual Arts Show, Urban Arts Gallery, Cottonwood Heights Art Show, at the Day-Riverside Library Branch in 2021, and at the Main Library in 2022.

“Katie Felgar is an extraordinary artist and one of the brightest souls I have ever had the privilege of working with.

When I signed up to be a mentor with Art Access’s Partners Program here in Salt Lake City, I had never done anything like that in a formal capacity before. Stan Clawson, the program Director, matched us solely based on the type of art we each created, and the result was amazing. 

Katie is legally blind, but what she can do with her limited vision is incredible. Her sense of pattern, color, and compositional balance is second to none. Her sense of humor is charming and contagious. In person she is warm, friendly, businesslike and decisive.

I’m honored to know her, and proud to be her friend.”

- Alice Toler, Katie's mentor
