KATHERINE OAKES

Creating images has always been a source of meditation and soul-searching for me. I have had a practice of making art ever since I was a little girl, taking advantage of lessons with local artists in my hometown of Pomfret, Connecticut.

 

In 2008, I relocated to the Berkshire Hills of Western Massachusetts. Since then, I have drawn great inspiration from the spiritual landscape and the thriving artistic community here while also completing my undergraduate degree in studio art at Bard College at Simon's Rock.

​

In the last year, I have been inspired to make work based in abstraction, movement, form and color. I have been greatly influenced by such great masters as Picasso, Matisse, Chagall, Bacon and Redon, drawing on their use of bold color and psychological and spiritual themes. 

​

I am honored that you have taken the time to stop and consider my work. Please contact me with inquiries and thoughts or just to say hello. My work is available for sale as both originals and prints, and I do take commissions.
