I’m Kate Laing, and I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m inspired by the wildness of nature, and the constantly changing beauty of our earth. A collector of sticks and stories. I’ve been weaving for nearly ten years now (and a multidisciplinary artist for many years longer).

I’m currently based in Omaha, Nebraska but I have always been drawn to the American Southwest. Someday I would love for Lionheart Canyon to be a real place in the desert, for creative people to gather. This is a space for those of us who crave exploration, and still desire to return to a cozy home at day’s end.

Cultivating genuine community is one of my passions, and in 2023 I created a Patreon called the Lionheart Canyon Collective. This has turned into the loveliest virtual space of curious humans and creatives who simply desire connection. We gather during coworking gatherings, and I host Creative Conversations with artists I’ve met over the years. It truly is such a special community of humans.

Let’s venture down this unmarked trail and discover the beautiful wilderness of Lionheart Canyon, shall we?

Introducing a visual landscape of Lionheart Canyon — standing on the edge of the rocks, looking towards the sun.

Miles lay before you, awaiting your discovery and exploration. Take a look at different areas of the hand carved line work…

do they remind you of the shapes in my weavings?

The image of Lionheart Canyon was carefully hand-carved on a linocut block, then individually printed by hand with an oil-based professional artist grade ink. The paper edges were also hand-torn to create a deckled look. Now available in the shop!
