Katharine McKenna
"Red Lemurs"
Artist Bio:
Through organic and unique usage of color, light and shape, K.L.
McKenna's style captures radical new perspectives on the traditional
subject. Her paintings are not just paintings of landscapes or figures
but rather color harmonies of a very high and unusual order. She is
often recognized as one of the most exciting contemporary artists
painting today. K.L. McKenna's scenes of Colorado, Arizona, Wyoming and
Montana reflect her enthusiasm and spiritual connection to the geology
of the west, where she paints on site. Her figure studies, which she
prefers to call "figure landscapes", are created in her Kingston, NY
studio throughout the year.
K.L.McKenna, a resident of Woodstock, NY and Ward, CO, has a B.A. from
Wesleyan University, CT and a Masters degree in Industrial Design from
Pratt INstitute, Brooklyn, NY. She has had extensive experience working
for museums and top exhibition design firms in New York, such as Ralph
Appelbaum Assoc. and Albert Woods Design.
K.L.McKenna participated in "Expanded Horizons, " the annual auction at the
Yellowstone Art Museum, Billings, MT, and the Annual Buffalo Bill Coday
Show and Sale, Cody, WY. She is represented by Granger Fine Art, Cody,
WY, NextMonet.com and is listed on AskArt.com, the blue book on
American Artists. She has exhibited in a variety of galleries across
the United States and her work is included in many corporate and
private collections. She recently exhibited work in Cologne, Germany,
