COASTAL INSPIRED.

Purpose driven.

hey, howdy, hi!

I'm Kate - the owner + artist behind Purpose Under Palms! If you like dogs, pickles, coffee, or the ocean... we already have something in common. ◡̈

Though I was born + raised in the appalachian mountains of Southwest Virginia + East Tennessee, I have a deep love for all things coastal! With my branding, I wanted to mesh these truths to wholeheartedly encapsulate who I am, where I'm from, + what I love. I've known since I was a single digit age that I wanted to own a business, so after years of painting as a hobby, I decided to leave my comfort zone + chase my dreams.

Part of that dream was moving to the beach, but after an unexpected change of plans, I started Purpose Under Palms as a way to do what I love + live with more purpose + intention. Although I'm back in the mountains of my hometown for now, it has allowed me to build this business that I love oh so much from the ground up, with very frequent visits to the coast... to the point that it now makes more sense for me to move back. ;)

I specialize in watercolor + am most inspired by lowcountry views, allowing me to bring joy to others through my art. I'm so grateful you're here!

With purpose,
Kate

The Art of Purpose

When brainstorming a name, I kept going back to the word "purpose" - a word that has held a lot of meaning to me for many reasons.

Purpose (n): "the reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists; living life to the fullest + knowing there is a reason for your journey; devotion to God's calling + those things that bring you joy + peace; knowing the value of sharing your gifts with others."

Purpose Under Palms is about living with purpose, living your purpose, + living each day with intention by claiming our time back that easily gets lost in daily routines. For me, it’s by bringing others joy through my art while in my happiest place, under the palm trees.

Be present. Use your gifts. Chase purpose + chase your dreams, always.
