Hello! I'm Kate, the creative spark behind Kate Hana Artistry.

A quick fun fact about my name: my middle name is Hana, pronounced Haan-ah, not Hon-ah. But hey, feel free to call me whatever rolls off the tongue! 😄 Nice to meet you!

🎨✨ My mission? To transform your everyday look into an A+ version of yourself while nurturing your skin to its healthiest glow!

Born and raised in Bend, Oregon since 1985, I proudly embrace my roots and have been on a fulfilling sober journey since 2021. I’m honored to have been named one of the Top 3 Makeup Artists in Oregon by Oregon Wedding Magazine and to have been consistently nominated as the Best Makeup Artist in Central Oregon. My support system includes my amazing husband Josh (a Bend native like myself), whom I’ve been married to since 2008, our two wonderful kids, Ruby (born in 2013) and Corbin (born in 2016), plus our lovable Mini Australian Shepherd, Ranger Larry. Oh, and did I mention I’m also a self-proclaimed crazy cat lady? Our feline family includes Lady, Calvin, and Hobbes!

I began my makeup journey over 15 years ago as a MAC Cosmetics Makeup Artist, mastering everything from everyday beauty to bold editorial looks for all ages, races, and genders. I've traveled for MAC events, taught makeup classes, and led trend-focused makeup sessions.

In 2019, I expanded my expertise by becoming a licensed aesthetician, blending skincare and makeup to offer my clients a complete beauty experience. From 2021 to 2024, I worked at two local clean beauty boutiques, where I honed my knowledge in clean beauty, incorporating it into my makeup services to give my clients the best of both worlds.

Now, for my partner in glam—Kelsey Garrison, the amazing owner of The Garrison Collective! Kelsey and I have teamed up for the past seven and a half years to create the ultimate hair and makeup duo for weddings, elopements, photoshoots, and more. With her hair expertise and my makeup magic, we guarantee a flawless experience! You can check out our work on Instagram at @partners_in_glam. While you don’t have to book us together, if you do, you'll get a perfect blend of energy, zen, and glam. Just remember, you’ll need to book us separately to ensure we’re both available for your special day & there are PERKS if you hire us both!

In addition to my artistry, I'm also the social media Director for the Central Oregon Wedding Association (COWA), a nonprofit dedicated to supporting and educating local wedding vendors. Follow us on Instagram at @central_oregon_wedding_assoc to connect with the best in the industry for your dream vendor team!

When I’m not glamming clients at weddings, elopements, boudoir sessions at BABE CITY Studio, photoshoots, or events, you can find me spending time with my family, adventuring with Ranger Larry, cuddling my kitties, and cherishing every little joy life has to offer. I’m all about meaningful connections and embracing the beauty in every moment. I can’t wait to meet you and explore your makeup and skincare needs!

-xoxo, Kate
