Kate Beck, MFAIA, USA

• American painter and writer

• A constant investigation into light and space has been my aesthetic experience with visual art. My works materialize through spontaneous brushwork, color and organized scale, often suggesting concurrent feelings of place and displacement.

• Recent fascinations include photographic image conceptualized by overpainting, presenting fresh opportunities for feeling and illusionistic space, and furthering the obscurity between realism and abstraction.

• A separate sensibility, my visual works are often accompanied by poetic verse written simultaneously as their surfaces develop and emerge.
