"Kate Neckel has never been bound by the traditional confines of canvas and paper." The New York Times
Kate Neckel is a multi-talented artist, author, singer-songwriter, musician and member of The Recording Academy. Her distinctive creative vision seamlessly moves between visual art and music, as evidenced in her singles "Wave Break," "X-ray Man," and "Salt Lick." Her thoughtfully crafted songs come to life through intimate, one-take recordings that preserve the immediacy and emotion of each performance.
Her artwork has been featured in national campaigns, exhibited in galleries such as Winston Wächter, and showcased at New York's Symphony Space. Her collection with Prospect NY can be found at the National Museum of Women in the Arts. Kate has collaborated with Pearl Jam's Mike McCready and worked as David Byrne's art assistant. She documented fashion designer Zac Posen's early career, with footage appearing in the film House of Z.
Kate's work has appeared in Vogue, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, Dwell, GQ, and The New York Times. She authored "Start Now! The Creativity Journal" (Chronicle Books, 2015) and lives in NYC with her husband, kids and two Portuguese water dogs.
Currently based in NYC, Neckel continues to push her creative boundaries through painting and music.
Kate Neckel earned her BA from University of Maryland at College Park, and her MFAs from the Maryland Institute College of Art and the School of Visual Arts in New York.
