Hello there! My name is Katherine M Yatsko and I am a mover, maker, and mama based in PA. These three “m”s are the basis for who I am as an interdisciplinary artist working in dance, performance, installation, and illustration. I use whatever means and media necessary for exploring the themes of my work; Work that is rooted in interactions, the idea that everything is connected and that we can find ways to integrate our interests, hopes, dreams, fears, and desires. Believing that art can be a means of processing for both the creator and the consumer, one desire of my practice is to create space for feeling. Allowing my work to change over time, I recognize that creating (like mothering) requires letting go. Making and mothering also require vulnerability, an openness to becoming. When people view my work, I want them to come with this openness so that we can grow together. As I have oscillated between visual and performing arts, I have also realized that art making is often about meaning making and I am always seeking to see the greater connections, to recognize the warps and wefts of this wild life, to weave it all together.

Katherine Mills-Yatsko (Katie) is an interdisciplinary artist based in West Chester, PA. With a background in dance, fibers, and sculpture, Katherine constantly seeks connection and intersection between movement and making. Since becoming a mother in 2022, her practice has expanded to include tender explorations of motherhood and care.
In 2025, Katherine launched her creative brand Nature and Nurture, offering art products that allow people to receive, daily, the beauty and love they are worthy of—through small, intentional objects like stickers and journals.
Katie graduated with honors from James Madison University in 2019 with degrees in Dance (BA) and Studio Art (BS), receiving multiple awards for her choreography and installation/performance work. She has performed and presented in Philadelphia and New York City with Long2Dance, Glorify Dance Theatre, and currently dances with Labyrinth Dance Company.
