Katie Heller Saltoun is a visual artist based in Brooklyn, New York. Her work primarily utilizes oil paint, ink, photographic collages, and woodcut printing to explore the multifaceted experiences of motherhood and caregiving. Saltoun captures the humor, frustration, monotony, and profound love inherent in caregiving, drawing inspiration from her own life and the diverse narratives of mothers and caretakers she encounters. Her compositions often depict dynamic scenes of energy and chaos, as well as repetitive imagery such as refrigerator shelves, spice racks, and rows of snacks, reflecting the repetitive yet vital tasks of domestic life. 

Saltoun holds a BFA from the University of Michigan, an MA from Columbia University, and an MFA from Pratt Institute. Her recent exhibition, "Bifocal: Motherhood and Creativity," was held at the Elza Kayal Gallery in Tribeca, New York. This multidisciplinary show explored the intricate interplay between creativity and motherhood, highlighting the often-overlooked experiences of artists who navigate both roles. Additionally, her work was featured in The American Scholar magazine in an article titled "Tenderness and Grit." 

Saltoun continues to create and exhibit work that resonates with audiences, offering a profound and authentic portrayal of the complexities inherent in caregiving and domestic life.
