M. Katherine Hurley Art

M. Katherine Hurley comes from Gates Mills, a small town in Midwest Ohio. This area is famed for its horse farms and rolling hill. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1974 from The College of Mt. St. Joseph based in Ohio (Cincinnati). She continued with her studies at The Art Academy of Cincinnati. After completing her studies, she worked with Wolf Kahn, a renowned landscape painter and colorist. For more than thirty years, she has been a working artist in Cincinnati, Ohio. The artist has exhibited in Europe and his art is represented in many leading galleries in Tennessee, Massachusetts and Ohio. Her work is in many corporate and private collections throughout the United States and beyond. Many collectors a stock her art as framed M. Katherine Hurley art. These are very popular because they come ready to hang with all the necessary accessories. Katherine is a Signature member of the Pastel Society of America. According to art critic Brown Daniel, her style is representational. There’s a mystic touch to Katherine’s landscapes. Her shifts in tone between sky and leaves or water and meadow are as delicate as the shifts between a breeze and stillness – between a ripple in the water and stillness. Her work is not the search for likenesses but of essences, and art symbolically represents life/nature, beauty and growth. She hopes to capture the emotions of the human heart in her colorful and dramatic paintings. Her mystic landscapes exist beyond the physical; in fact her mystic landscapes lie in a region between the imagined and the remembered.
