About Katherine

Katherine is mixed media artist. Her collages involve the collection, assembly and gluing of torn or cut paper and other recycled materials to recreate, for the most part, close and personal images of landscapes on canvas.
Reusing old calendars, discarded magazines and books gives new vitality to re-purposed
consumer goods.

“Shadow Land’ completed Jan/18

Detail on #10, “Denali” – recycling paper from used calendars, old books and magazines from Restore, thrift stores, etc.

Collage # 19 “Alpine Hillside” completed March, 2017

# 9 Completed. Inspired by a photo taken by my spouse at my request. Sold Dec/15

# 11, “Ancestral River” -First Nation fish drying site under the looming bluff, 18″ x 36″, finished Fall, 2016. My largest collage to date and a real challenge. Detail to follow.

Collage # 13, “Hunting Hawk”, inspired by Tom Thompson, one of my favourite artists, completed in Spring, 2016 and sold to a friend. Small canvas, say 8″ X 12″ perhaps.

Collage # 18 – a work in progress inspired by a photo taken by my favourite photographer, Duane, when we were exploring the backroads around Vernon. “Offroad East of Oyama, BC”, 16″ x 20″

Collage # 21, on a barrel for auction, Art Walk, May, 2017

Second collage, not the best photo and it sold before I managed to capture another photo.

Work in progress, glue and paper – “Spring Flooding Near Ollala, BC” finished December, 2015, 16″ x 16″

Collage # 14, “Horseshoe Bend”, an old hydraulic mine site on the Bridge River near Lillooet, BC that is going wild at last. Operated from about 1908 to recent times, it wrecking havoc on the fish on this important First Nation fishing river. At the confluence of the Bridge and the Fraser River, dip net salmon fishing and salmon rack drying has been carried on for untold centuries. 36″ X 36″, this was my second most ambitious project and it won first prize by popular vote in the “Other Media” category at the Oliver Art Council Fall Art Show in October, 2016.

#10 – my version of “Denali”, North America’s highest peak, finished January, 2016, 11″ X 14″. My first mountains and after several false starts I woke one morning knowing that I had to build the snowy peaks from torn white paper. The foreground is made from tiny torn bits to make leaves on the bushes and was fun to assemble.

# 11, “Ancestral River” -First Nation fish drying site under the looming bluff, 18″ x 36″, finished Fall, 2016. My largest collage to date and a real challenge. Detail to follow.

Collage # 20, “Chocolate Lillies” for botanical plant theme exhibit at Medici’s in Oliver, completed March, 2017. 16″ x 20″

Collage # 17, “Columbia River Wetlands”, 12″ x 24″ and I did not do justice to the brillance of the yellows and oranges and reds of the landscape. The silt bluffs between the valley bottom and the foothills looked almost like snow.

Collage # 15, black and white, 14″ X 18″, “Kingcome Inlet” completed October, 2016. Prepared for an Animals theme exhibit at Medici’s Cafe in Oliver with Oliver Sagebrushers, our local art group.

Young Larches – and it’s that time of year again, up on the hills.

Detail on #9, “Spring Flooding near Ollala, BC” – from the underside of the deep sided canvas. I liked my version of the barb wire coiled on the old fence post.
