Kathleen Sherin

Medium(s): Printmaking

Summary/Artist Statement:

Kathy’s work has a unique flavor. Her prints bring together biologically derived forms, sparkling color palette and an engaging narrative that revolves around a search for simplicity and balance amidst complex, undulating patterns and contrasting spaces. She attributes some of her visual inspiration to the years she worked as an RN in Children’s Hospital ER, a personal fascination with human sensory and psychological issues, and an attraction to abstract ideas of systems in science and math. In her stylistically recognizable prints she intertwines and overlays imagery derived from these varied sources to create multi-layered visually poetic and at time contentious compositions.

In the last year Kathy’s work has been in exhibitions at Artspace, Buffalo, NY, the Arts and Cultural Center Gallery in Rochester, NY, (and received the Juror’s award), The Mulvane Museum and the Alice C. Sabatini Gallery, Topeka, KS, and Artlink Contemporary Art Gallery, Ft Wayne IN. This summer an exhibition of new work will be exhibited at The Women’s Studio Workshop, Rosendale, NY where she was invited to teach a printmaking workshop. Locally, her work is in the collections of Burchfield Penney, Gerald Mead and Roswell Park Cancer Institute. In 2010 she was selected to participate in the MARK program – New York Foundation for the Arts' competitive six-month statewide program for visual artists focusing on the professional side of creative practices.
