About the Artist

Kate Ingmundson

I came to Boulder, Colorado in 1984 to attend graduate school in Communication Disorders and Speech Science at the University of Colorado; but in truth, I chose to attend the University when I saw the cover of the catalog. It featured a gorgeous photograph of the iconic Flatirons rock formations towering above the campus.

Now I can see the Flatirons out of the window of my 10th floor apartment. Without fail, my daily routine begins with drinking my morning coffee while sitting in front of that window with my cat, watching the weather and light changing moment to moment.

Inspired by that view, I bought a used Nikon D3300 and started studying photography in earnest.

Most of these photos were shot in and around my home town, Boulder, Colorado. Snow on Bear Peak and Fire Rainbow were shot from my apartment window. The Doran Barn, built in the early 1900’s, is next to South Boulder Creek, one of my favorite trails to bike on. The Flatirons, an iconic rock formation, can be seen from the 11th floor balcony of my apartment building. Some of the landscapes you see here are in and around the Indian Peaks Wilderness area, where I’ve hiked, camped, and cross-country skied. These photos are of places that I have a personal connection to.

I enjoy crawling around in the communal gardens where I live, wearing dirty green kneepads and elbow protectors, taking close-ups of plants and flowers, rain droplets and spider webs, and things we often pass by unless we slow down and look closely.

My art is influenced by years of meditation and mindfulness practice. Through photography, I hope to encourage others to slow down and pay attention to small details, to enjoy simplicity, and to find beauty everywhere.

I’ll be continually updating this website with new photos, so please come back to see what’s new.

Thanks for coming by!
