About the Artist

Hi friends, welcome to Lively Scout, the visual studio of artist, designer, and illustrator Katie Lively.

Lively by name and lively by nature, Katie’s work exudes energy, colour, and curiosity – creating vibrant worlds alive with story and possibility.

Her illustrations remix eclectic influences with patterns, symbolism, and her deep love of nature. The result is bold, fluid, and sometimes surreal imagery that transforms ideas into something fresh and unforgettable.

With over 25 years’ experience as a designer, creative director, and illustrator, Katie brings both artistry and strategy to every project. Her work blends energy with meaning, drawing people into visual stories that spark curiosity and connection.

Lively Scout is open for collaborations across branding, packaging, and editorial projects — creating illustrations that bring imagination to life.
