After moving to NC at the age of 15, Katherine began her focus on oils, she developed her skill by doing studies in a variety of landscapes. A concentration in portraiture soon followed. She found portraits to be more exciting and challenging, as well as more rewarding once a true likeness was achieved. A consistent and determined focus on faces and the human form laid the seeds for the most recent evolution of her art.

"Melty People" is a concentration spawned from years and years of youthful sketches contorting and manipulating the human body. Her experience in portrait art allowed her to understand the techniques necessary to create a likeness of the human form. She than translated these techniques to the aforementioned hard line sketches to create more detailed , sculptural subjects in oils. The Goal she said is "To make them as realistic as possible, in spite of their impossible circumstances."

Katherine has found her artistic "voice" in the "Melty People". The convergence of developed technique and youthful fantasy has birthed something for which she is truly passionate.

The "Melty People" are a interpretation of the world we live in. It is the visualization of the emotional and non-physical connection we have to each other; sometimes struggling, some times bonding, other times completely unaware of the connection we share.
