About Kate Barreto

I’m an acrylic artist living in the coastal town of Morehead City, North Carolina, where I’m constantly inspired by the water, changing skies, and beauty in everyday life. When I’m not in my home studio, I’m usually chasing after my two kids and exploring the coast with my family.

My work is all about slowing down and noticing the quieter moments around us. I’m drawn to calm landscapes, soft colors, and simple compositions that feel peaceful and timeless. My collection of botanical silhouettes feels especially true to that idea—simple, understated, and intentionally quiet.

Painting gives me a chance to slow life down and capture a little bit of that feeling to share with others.
