Resume

"An American sculptor who makes innovative use of cement for a most satisfying process and most intriguing aesthetic impact..." Wolfgang Mabry, Sculpture Review Magazine, National Sculpture Society

"The work is dramatic, impressive in its mass and thought provoking, often uniting dramatic movement and steadfast immobility in the same piece..." Sal Emma, Envision Arts Magazine

" Katherine is able to make her work appear timeless...the viewer senses tension in her work. She takes the human form and presents it in an edgy way, using contemporary materials to cast large monuments with 21st century flavor" Bob Shryock Gloucester County Times, New Jersey
