Kate grew up on an apple orchard in Cornwall, Vermont and received her undergraduate art degree at Colorado College, and spent a semester at Lingua Viva, an international school for the arts in Florence, Italy. She taught art in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, and Sao Paolo, Brazil. In 2004, she returned to Sao Paolo to create a large scale tree sculpture in the Botanical Gardens in the city. “I feel it is important to put my body in the work, charging the physical senses in order to wake up the mind. Climbing high in a harness in order to carve and paint on a trunk’s surface is an example of the interaction I look for to join the body to landscape, creating a language of grounding down while simultaneously rising up. I apply this philosophy to recent work, as I suspend my body over high cliff walls, dropping into the mouhts of desert canyons. What initally feels odd and terrifying becomes overwhelimingly beautiful. Here I can be with states of uncertainty, immersing into a larger whole, a place of grace."
