Giving is receiving.

I’m Katy Gennaro, a visual artist and yoga teacher based in Warwick, New York.

My artistic practice explores the relationship between human experience and the divine, drawing from themes of grief, transformation, faith, embodiment, and the masculine-feminine archetypes.

Working across painting, drawing, and graphic illustration, I use figurative imagery, symbolic composition, and recurring visual motifs to give form to the intangible and explore the mysteries of our inner lives.

My work has evolved through different mediums and visual languages, but its foundation remains the same. I am drawn to the questions that connect us to ourselves, to one another, and to the esoteric and unexplainable aspects of our existence.

Yoga is an inseparable part of this exploration. Through movement, stillness, and conscious attention, I continue to investigate many of the same themes that inform my art.

Receptive Giving is the home of these pursuits, a space for creative expression, contemplation, and the ongoing practice of becoming.

And This Too

2025

I’m currently developing a cycle of five large-scale paintings exploring grief, spiritual transformation, and the parallel narratives of Eve and Jesus.

Building on my earlier figurative paintings and more recent symbolic illustrations, this new work represents a return to painting and a deeper exploration of themes that have informed my practice for over a decade.

I look forward to sharing the series as it develops over the coming years.
