My inspiration comes from the beauty of the atmosphere -- of the sky and how it’s connected with the earth. Every time I look at what nature is presenting in front of me, the clouds, seductive with the constant movement of the atmosphere, I am reminded that life is constantly shifting and never stagnant. I work in acrylic and graphite, using many layers of glazes to achieve the luminosity of the atmospheric quality in my work. I also work wet on wet and use drips to create texture and atmosphere, which alludes to what’s beneath the surface. My paintings are asking viewers to step into a world of possibility, mystery, magic and atmosphere and to be transported through color and light and texture.

Lost in a Sea of Blue

Katz’s tranquil and atmospheric paintings are wondrously tonal and can be quite minimalist compositions. Her perceptive blending of emotion and the representational reveals a sincerity that reflects on ‘being’. This piece guides the viewer between shifting spaces and amorphous layers, giving them a ‘living’ experience. Her brilliant rejection of the obvious and dedicated exploration of color and light, is absolutely masterful. -E.E. Jacks California United States of America
