About The Artwork
My clients like to relax and gaze out over these gold and indigo horizons. I make these to be visual Valium to calm the core and provide peace to the palace. A gentle oasis to turn inward to refocus ones will in one glorious blue and gold shimmering location is a key part of the emotional experience of what I do. Lacking from this picture is the iridescence an ever-changing presence of the dancing light of the gold tones which shift as the viewer sees them this adds tremendous depth. Sold unframed so you or your designer can complete your rooms look perfectly with your decor. Huge paper, 44 inch square frames to a 48” square with a 36” active painting area, don’t trim or mat too close. I suggest a 4 inch mat to let the piece breathe, or best, floating like a ghost in the frame with no mat to show off the paper Artist framed presentation is always available. I charge around 1/3 of the cost of the piece for framing and framed shipping tends to come to 10% of the total cost. please inquire. I find my clients use these 44” squares to lend balance and even order to the energy of stairwells, lonesome walls with fixtures or accent walls. A full description of my process using funori seaweed pigment and mica is available on my website at www.Katie.gallery You will find my work in all the Saks Fifth Avenues in Manhattan, all the Mitchell Gold Bob Williams in the country as well as boutique hotels, and as a centerpiece of interior designs which make all your friends jealous and your place look amazing. Please be aware we do not do prints, each one of these pieces is an unabashed original painted by the artist. We hope after years of enjoyment in your collection you will sell them at auction and keep the bar high (if the kids don’t want them)and release them to excellent museums and beautiful collections for the future. The thick heavy weight cotton paper is more like a canvas felt than a canvas woven and 100% Coventry rag by Legion paper is a remarkable support for these amazing pieces. This piece is available for sale online and at gallery and will sell quickly please do not delay. Typically, pieces sell within 21 days of being placed online, the great ones within seven days. I reserve the right to close this listing early if an in person client has purchased the piece before the team is able to remove this listing.I apologize for any inconvenience that might occur but strongly recognize the need to bid early for a piece that you’re in love with so it doesn’t get away.

My largest influence has been the tribe of artisans and makers who raised me up. I find Australian Aboriginal painters deeply moving because of my roots. Their commitment to the present moment, the idea of painting as a community story, is an important part of the process. I love the idea of the nothing that is the outback, and how painters there have created an industry for themselves out of the stories of their lives and history. My favorite, Dorothy Napangardi and the other Napangardi sisters, have a painted language that echoes through time. All of my watercolor paintings are mixed from pigment by hand, creating unique, one-of-a-kind hues. Pigments come from all over the world and are light-durable, synthetic, and non toxic whenever possible. In addition to gum arabic, the age-old watercolor binder, the pieces heavily use funori, a Japanese seaweed. Often used in archival book binding, the funori is used to lift and carry dense pure pigments over the paper with a unique body and flow not often seen in traditional watercolor. The paper is beautiful 100% cotton Coventry Rag Legion made, like the artist, in the early 1970s, and is uniquely able to take the process. It was created largely for Erte, and had a certain stability in the gold leaf he used in his work. How it handles the metallic pigments and the dense layers is why it is the preferred paper above all others for the process. The Fibonacci series is often used in my work to create patterns with the beauty and nuance of the numbers. The I Ching, with its patterns of lines coming forever down, up, and rising through the random noise to give us insight into the nature of change, is another patterning influence. The patterns are laid in using a latex white, and despite much experimentation, the best resist is still Jackson Pollack's favorite, housepaint. I also mix it with silk painting resists. This causes a ghosting and patterning around the resist, which is really beautiful and works perfectly with the paper. There is no right way to look at these beauties. Turn them around and upside down, I make them on a table that spins so the right way is your way. The mica pigments change depending on the angle and light you see them under. So let them get a little sun, live with them, love them. These aren't just paintings, they are life long friends.
