Kaite Bassett
Katie Bassett is a long-standing resident of Bethel, Connecticut, who actively contributes to the community as an artist, activist, and mother of two daughters.
She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Sculpture and Graphic Design, as well as a Master of Fine Arts in Sculpture, both from Western Connecticut State University.
Bassett has participated in several prestigious artist residencies, including the Art & Philosophy Residency at the American Academy in Rome, Italy, and the Sculpture & Seminar Residency at the Chautauqua Institution in New York.
Her artwork has been exhibited nationally in both solo and group exhibitions and is included in numerous private collections.
Katie’s artwork explores materials, temporality, and memory, utilizing a diverse array of domestic materials to represent aspects of her identity as an artist and woman. Her sculptural forms, unconventional material applications, and abstractions are often characterized by dark imagery.
Her training in traditional sculpture and graphic design has led to a non-traditional approach in installation, process-based work. The works are heavily textured, dyed, and sewn, evoking figurative elements and textures derived from nature.
They reflect personal experiences, relationships, and observations, offering insight into significant moments in her life.
