Artist Statement My goal as an artist is to create simple, joyful paintings. I make paintings that I want to be surrounded by and that make me happy. People intrigue me and I think capturing their emotions is important. Painting is a gift I give to myself every day. Surprised, joyful and contemplative faces always seem to find their way into my paintings. I like to use bright colors and textures. They lend intensity to my work. Each piece I create is a fantastic journey for me...I never know what will happen or what the end result will be. I just trust that the painting will evolve as I am playing and...eventually it does!
Artist Bio Katherine is a self-taught contemporary folk artist living in Tampa, Florida. Inspired by simple every day happenings she works diligently to create a storybook with her paintings. I think there is real beauty in the routine tasks of the day. I am always grateful when people respond positively to my work. They seem to understand the emotion I try to create. Communicating through visual art is something I want to do for the rest of my life.
Currently, Katherine participates in several juried art shows. She was awarded, Best of Show at the 2017 Temple Terrace Arts Festival in Temple Terrace Florida as well as the Jean Lake Folk Art Awards presented to her from Troy Fest in Troy, AL in 2019 and 2022.
Katherine and her husband Brett are enjoying life in their New Tampa home with their cats, Ava and Gloria and dog, Georgie.
