Biography:

Katherine had a career as an online post-production editor and graphic artist for ABC NEWS in New York for 28 years. She has won numerous awards. She was nominated twice for an Emmy and winning the prestigious award once. She has also won a silver award, Promax-BDA for Promotion graphics and 2 Peabody’s. She holds a master’s degree in photography from New York University and an Undergraduate Degree from Rutgers University specializing in Art.

Her work in oil painting is rooted in realism, focusing on still life and the human figure. “I approach each canvas with the intention of capturing how light moves across a moment, anchoring the viewer in a quiet yet deliberate observation of reality. I paint what I see-not just in subject, but in atmosphere, tone and presence.”
With a background in photography, Katherine has been deeply influenced by the work of Henri Cartier-Bresson and his philosophy of capturing the “decisive moment.” That idea continues to shape her practice as a painter. Like Cartier-Bresson’s photographs, her paintings are composed of guiding the viewer’s eye to a particular point-a gesture, a shadow, a flicker of light-that she believes carries the emotional weight of the scene.
