| S T A T E M E N T As a painter, Katherine Kean seeks moments of breath-taking transition in nature; a gathering of clouds or changing tides; times when the elements of the landscape combine with the alchemy of imagination to illuminate the world of heightened mood and sensation. Her works capture these fleeting moments in time and reveal the serene center that can arise in the mids t of nature’s turbulence. Katherine has exhibited in museums and galleries across the United States, including the LACMA Art Rental and Sales Gallery and the Brand Library Art Gallery in Los Angeles. Her work was selected for inclusion in the 2009 Schiffer publication 100 Artists of the West Coast II, and she has three times won an Art Slant Showcase Award. Her work is in many private and corporate collections and Bloomingdales recently selected one of her cloudscape paintings to be part of the collection for their new store in Santa Monica, CA. |
