Kat Frick Miller is a Canadian artist and freelance illustrator. You can find her painting in her home studio in Dartmouth or exploring the rural seaside of Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia. She graduated from NSCAD University in 2009 with an interdisciplinary BFA.

Kat is known for her playful work exploring east coast heritage and culture.  Her vibrant colours and whimsical exploration of the Maritimes lend a distinctive personality to her paintings and patterns.  Kat’s collection of locally produced prints, cards, notebooks and tea towels can be found in shops across Atlantic Canada.  

She is the illustrator of If I Had an Old House on the East Coast by Wanda Baxter, published by Nimbus Publishing, translated to Simplified Chinese in 2019. Last Fish, First Boat, a short film released by Canadian Geographic and MacIntyre Media in February 2021, was co-produced by Kat and Jenn Thornhill Verma, with artwork and animation by Kat. Her illustrations have been featured in Canadian publications including The Walrus and the Atlantic Salmon Journal.
