Profile – Fulton Street Collective

Katherine Knapp

Biographical Info Katherine Cox Knapp paints from life, her own photographs, and her imagination, and focuses on vulnerability, beauty, and nostalgia. Harkening back to the 19th Century movement, “Art for Art’s Sake,” she is interested in the direct aesthetic experience of a piece of art-that moment of interchange between a viewer and an art object being viewed, when each is acting on and influencing the other. She calls this, Experience for Experience’s Sake. Her work has been exhibited in numerous Chicago venues including the Chicago Cultural Center, the Bridgeport Art Center, the Epiphany Center for the Arts, Zhou B Art Center, The Evanston Art Center, and the West Loop Contemporary Fine Art Expo. She is a member of The Chicago Alliance of Visual Artists and the Fulton Street Collective.

Short Description In my work I’m focused on beauty, vulnerability, and nostalgia. I play with color and texture and lean more toward realism or abstraction depending on the unique character of each piece.
