About Kate
Kate seeks to represent life in a hyper-realistic way. Using colored pencil, every detail is considered bringing to the viewer vivid colors, sparkle and glow, love and nostalgia. Kate’s work goes beyond realism in a contemporary way. Kate lives and works in Colorado, earned her MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University and is currently the Faculty Mentor at RMCAD. Kate’s art has been exhibited in New York, London, Miami, Colorado and across the United States.
