Katy Biele is a Chilean-born multidisciplinary artist based in Victoria BC, on the traditional territories of the Lkwungen (Lekwungen) peoples.
Biele's visual language and insatiable curiosity for transcending conventional boundaries transcend the limitations of mere medium and colour, inviting us into mesmerizing realms of boundless imagination and intuition. Bridging the gap between paint and fiber, she creates a symphony of textures that dance and intertwine on a vibrant South American colour palette.

Biele’s works range from paintings and embroidery to fiber art installations.
Her work has been featured by The Textile Museum of Canada, The National Museum of Singapore and also she is part of the finalist of the Salt Spring Island National Art Prize 2023/2024.
