First, the Belltown Art Walk is now the third Thursday of each month. So, we’ll see you on the 20th from 6-8pm. We’ll be waiting with hand massages, wine and smiles.
We are happy to be hosting Katrina Whitney in May.
Her art contains relics of the past within a menagerie of animals, apparitions, and objects which capture the nostalgia of her formative experiences. Collage is not often a medium associated with minimalism, but she finds herself drawn to this aesthetic and tries to avoid the typical busy and sentimental pitfalls. The space that is left when she is finished with a piece is just as important as the spaces she has filled. Whether the content is kitschy and humorous, or somber and serious, it is her approach and techniques that give the work continuity. The treatments, paint colors, and found imagery may have an antique appeal, but the compositions are decidedly simple, clean and modern.
Katrina has lived in Seattle since 1993 and currently resides in Ballard. You can contact her at katrina@katrinawhitney.com or look at her art on www.katrinawhitney.com.
