About

Katie Gong, born in California, is an artist best known for her innovative steam bent sculptures and wood work. Katie first came to work with wood as a child. She would spend weekends at her Grandfather Carlisle's wood shop, observing him making uniques pieces on his lathe.This early exposure to creative and mental pursuits, problem solving and art, was only further enriched in high school when Katie would spend summers working on her father Chee's construction crews. She has created custom pieces for public spaces in the Bay Area, such as The Assembly, Anchor Brewing Public Taps, Birba, and Old Devil Moon brewery, Bar crudo, and Nopa. Inspired by the physical beauty of the California landscape, Katie has often said that she hadn't really found her medium until she started bending wood.
