Katja Härkki (born in 1969, Helsinki) is a visual artist and painter living and working in Lahti. She graduated as a designer with a Master of Arts in 1997 from the University of Art and Design Helsinki, and as a visual artist in 2014 from the Lahti Institute of Fine Arts. In the fall of 2024, Härkki will graduate from Turku University of Applied Sciences with a Master's degree. In her thesis, she has developed a method that artists can use to explore their art and simultaneously strengthen their creative power: Developing artistry by utilizing an audience survey related to the exhibition.

The central themes of Katja Härkki's paintings are humanity, the struggles of the human mind and body, flourishing and decay – with a touch of decadence. In her painting process, she aims to capture the transience of human life, which consists of various encounters and glimpses. Härkki has held several solo exhibitions and participated in numerous group exhibitions. She is a member of the artist associations in Tampere and Lahti, as well as the Finnish Painters' Union.
