Kate Uraneck

Kate Uraneck is a dynamic early mid-career artist whose work seamlessly blends traditional and contemporary artistic techniques, creating land- and seascapes that play at the boundaries of the abstraction and realism. Born and raised in the Oklahoma countryside, Kate's deep connection with nature serves as the driving force behind her creations.

Kate explores the possibilities of acrylics and mixed media, incorporating hand painted materials over acrylic under paintings to add depth and dimension to her work. This approach results in surprising pieces that invite viewers to explore the tactile and visual elements embedded in each creation. These works evoke the ever-changing moods of the natural world. Influenced by the American Tonalists and the Canadian Group of Seven artist she strives for emotive works rather than literal renditions.

Primarily self-taught, Kate has studied under the mentorship of multiple contemporary artists. These include Matthew Perry, Nicholas Wilton, Mark Russel, Tom Post, and David Sharpe.

When not in her Cincinnati, OH, studio Kate finds time to kayak or sail and explore new horizons with her husband, Ted.
