Katie Schutte was born and raised in Ohio. As a child, she often saved up to purchase jewelry-making kits and taught herself to crochet in high school. Her artistic practice involves combining crochet, a fiber technique, with materials and processes associated with painting, sculpture, and metalsmithing. She received her Bachelor of Fine Art from Kent State University in Crafts, concentrating in Jewelry, Metals, and Enameling and her Master of Fine Art from Miami University in Jewelry Design and Metals. While at Miami, she taught Jewelry and Metalsmithing courses to students from various majors. Her work has been shown across the US and virtually. She currently lives in the Driftless area of southwest Wisconsin with her husband and a clowder of cats.

In the exhibition "Echoes of the Mind," three artists Beki Borman, Nastia Craig and Katie Schutte navigate the intricate landscape of perception and memory. Each creator explores the evolving narratives within, unveiling the echoes of personal experiences that shape and reshape one's understanding of self. The mind becomes a canvas saturated by color in this introspective exploration where perceptions weave a rich tapestry of individual and collective stories.
