Katherine’s pictures combine gestural marks of reduced colour into mythic apparitions, a product of a lifetime of dreaming and exploring the world of interiors, and the broader world of exteriors. Within the exchange of spaces, and the embrace of the physical world, she has found the ethereal, the ambiguities, and the suggestion of so much more.
“Alchemy” draws on a rich vein of Baroque and Beaux Arts influences, motifs and decorative embellishments translated into Katherine’s own visual language. Bernini’s Italian water fountains and sculptures, grottoes and mascarons, festoons, ribbons, and florals, seep into her paintings.
