Katherine really has been an outstanding phenomenon as she has created a strong portfolio showcasing a modern introspective investigation of our human connectivity. Her work is an extension of biological patterning that she is quite fascinated with as she is investigating our make and humanity and where it may take us. Constantly in flux as she has chosen as her career interest in bioengineering.

These depictions are captured as existential moments in a cellular level in her integration of interdisciplinary interest. Her work has come full circle as she now has matured as a skilled artist that is fully engaged. Evolutionary modes are at play as the work investigates cellular connectivity as well as synchronicity.

At our academy the engaged members in painting a mural - Displayed the artwork of dub members in a public gallery with hundreds in attendance - Recognized by LA County Superintendent in Stop Hate 2024.

I have been more than impressed with Katherine as I see her overall growth and independence. She now inspires the younger class with her provocative and technical paintings. Her life drawing and studying figure have been most impressive and has helped work drastically.

She has pushed to boundaries within herself reflecting on ways to communicate and make “Art” rather than just one default medium.
