Meet 99 King W Artist, Katarina Al Hariri 🎨✨

“Working at 99 King has been really meaningful for both my artistic practice and my personal journey. As a newcomer artist, having access to a stable and affordable studio has made a huge difference... it’s given me the confidence to share my work and take on new opportunities.”

Based in Kitchener, Katarina is a visual artist whose work explores identity, transformation, and belonging. Drawing on her international background and lived experience of displacement, her paintings and mixed-media pieces offer an introspective look at the human condition within shifting cultural realities.

We are so proud to have Katarina as part of our cohort at 99 King St W!
