Color Stack Series
This group of work, entitled Color Stacks, is an exploration of color, texture, opacity, and transparency. With each layer of color Katherine attempts to subvert her initial instincts and choices in order to find unexpected color relationships. By ignoring and pushing past what she thinks would be the obvious color choice, Katherine seeks to question and to understand her own instincts and where they come from.

Works on Paper
In her works on paper, Katherine embraces her instincts and works quickly with acrylic, gouache, ink, colored pencil, and markers. Each mark is a response to the last mark and thus the piece evolves without a predetermined outcome. She is often thinking about seasonal shifts, weather, and the natural environments from which she collects objects and memories. These pieces are often bright and colorful and are a place for Katherine to be free and expressive with her mark making and color choices.
